The shortlist evolved is: 1. Technika V or Master
2. Wista SP
3. Toyo 45AX
4. Horseman 45FA
5. meridian, Crown, Busch types
If bellows extension is a major concern, the 45FA won't be your first choice - it's shorter than the Technika, Wista or Toyo in that respect, somewhere around 270mm if you extend the front track to the end and pull the rear extension as well. In general, the tradeoff with the Horseman is that you get a smaller, lighter camera in return for some restrictions on bellows draw, extent of front movements, and size of lenses that can be accommodated on the front standard.

To All
I bought the Technika V. The Camera is in excellent condition. The "well used" condition mentioned in the ad offiously ment used in a very responsible manner.
Very happy with it. I paid extra attention on the front rise gears which are indeed non metal made.
Thank you all for your advises!
