Mine also has no detents on the front board, which means I need to be careful when the bellows are out a ways, if the lens is not on horizontal axis. For me, this is rarely an issue, as long as I'm reasonably careful, because the portraits I shoot don't require much bellwo extension with the lenses I have. The may be considerations for you, which is why I list them. I found my camera here on the forum for under $500 and have put several hundred into repairs and a new bellows. It's lightweight and suits me fine.
