    Thanks, I do like the camera, just starting to use it. The bellows go out 18 inches approximately, maybe a few more. I hate to stretch them. The Universal and the Carlton where the top of the line models for Rochester, they cost a lot more than their tailboards. I also have a 5x8 tailboard, and it's wood is almost as nice.

    In many ways you have the best of both worlds a British style field camera with a modern back. Even in the 1950's UK made wooden cameras were still being made to take book form Darkslides (UK term for film holders) and there was no compatability. Great camera.
