I am re-phrasing an earlier question. What camera would you recommend, which would allow me to use a Fujinon 450A in the field, but would also allow the use of a lens as short as 150, with the same bellows ?
I am aware of the Canham, but one reviewer suggests that at its maximum extension, it can be unstable, or strained.
Some have suggested that even though the 70mm bellows is long enough, an Arca Swiss becomes unstable at the same extension, because the rail design is not robust enough.
Would it be better to get a 5x7 camera, and use a 4x5 reducing back ? Are they built with enough rigidity, or would this length exceed their intended use anyhow ?
I would like to avoid having to use more than 1 tripod. I would prefer it if the camera were really steady enough to begin with.
