You'll definitely want some movements, but you're right, nothing excessive. The Rembrandt 5x7 is a great little tailboard portrait camera, but may not have the extension you need for a 145.5" to 16.5" lens at portrait distance. (BTW, the Verito came in 14.5" and 18", not 16.5".) I'd go with the Century 8x10 studio camera or something similar, although almost any 8x10 or 5x7 with enough bellows draw would be sufficient. Keep in mind a big studio camera should have a studio stand, and now we're talking furniture-size equipment. But there's something special about using an old studio camera...
