Pentax tilt & shift bellows

Thanks! it looks absolutely identical apart from the 'Pentax' brandings which seem to be an insoluble mystery.

Not quite identical. The rack on yours appears to be of a plastic material similar to my Pentax Bellows-A set, the one in Barrie's link looks to be metallic. There are other differences too, but it does look very similar in design and the few differences I can see can easily be attributed to model versions.

Good find Barrie.

That's some bellows The one Barrie linked to looks
to have been made in the same factory

It does seem to have a No:2 extension tube on it?

Any large format lenses would allow the movements
to work.

I thought I'd seen the Kenlock name recently link Swing shift bellows would appear to be the name on the box link and as for vintage link

Is the big silver "Pentax" logo stuck on? It looks like the decal from the front of an ever ready case to me.

The 'Pentax' logo is an integral part of the metal - it's about 1mm deep and inseparable from the housing. The words 'Asahi Pentax Japan' are engraved into the lower part of the casing.

Thanks for the link, Barrie.

It's a Spiratone Bellows Master SST, with two genuine Asahi Pentax Extension Tube #2 at either end

The logo, by the looks of it, is a DIY job, albeit a very good one.
