Those of us who are classic camera fans would love bellows,
especially if they came in a choice of the classic colors (black,
dark red, dark green, etc.). However, they would be prone to
damage and light leaks. On the other hand, this may allow for
more compact storage.

Could a compromised be made (similar to some modern view cameras)
where the bellows or box attachment is a slide on rail/groove
type design? Thus both can be offered as an option. When a choice
is made by a purchaser the box or the bellows are slid into place
prior to shipment. Some may want to buy both bellows and the box
options but only one viewer frame assembly. Is your basic design
amenable to this approach?

BTW who is this "Pres" guy? ;>)
