I've been using the 45N-1 for about a dozen years now. I've not felt the need to upgrade as it does everything I need. Since I do hike in to places I personally want a folding camera. I suspect it would be easier to resell a folding camera but I'm just guessing. Either camera will do what you want. The longest lens I use is a 300mm. I've sometimes thought of getting a longer one but those are expensive, and they are heavy. They would bounce around hanging way out on an extension. I really don't find a need for anything longer than 300mm anyway. (My 300mm is the popular Nikon 300M f9.) The widest lens I use is a 75mm f4.5 Nikon. I use it mostly for photo'ing the interiors of abandoned houses. I recently got a Chamonix universal bellows which handles the 75mm very well. I've been very happy with the Chamonix and have kept it. It's my do-all general purpose camera. I shoot film, dry plates, and a lot of wet plates (tin) with it. The Technika boards are a nice size and I've mounted lenses made 1845 to 2002 on them. It's a very versatile system.
