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.
