Maybe if I physically pulled both standards out to where they are almost exitting the camera I could get 23 inches, but I could not lock the rails in place or focus with the gears.
I noticed one more flaw in my camera. One of the front clips for the bellows has some slop. It doesn't hold the front bellows frame against the front standard. I'm trying to work up the courage to bend that clip a little.
