Used, solid as a chunk of metal can be, made for the Graphic View camera which needs a recessed a little more than a standard camera as the tripod mounting plate takes up a wee bit of space. If you plan of using ULTRA short lenses like a 65mm etc then what you can do is move the tripod mounting section and pop it BEHIND the standards and that way you can squeeze a few more MM's out of the compression end of the bellows. Or...just buy a recessed board :-)
