What's the LF with no bellows?

I've got a Sinar Handy with a binocular reflex viewer and rangefinder. I also have the 45mm grandagon for use with the zoombacks making the change from 6x6 to 6x7 to 6x9 to 6x12 easy midroll. I find it terrific and very, very quick to set up. I also work a 65mm, 90mm and 120mm all with helical focusing mounts. The only thing to watch is when talking to our Sinar rep here in Australia, you can't and never could get helical focusing mounts for any lens longer than 120mm. So great for ultra-wides and wides but nothing 1:1 or longer. For backpacking though, you can't get much lighter.

Much longer HFM's are available from Fotoman... 135, 150, 180, 210, 240, 250, 270, 300 and even a 360mm. Only caveats being - lenses must be in a #0 or #1 shutter, and lenses with very large rear groups cannot be used.
