I had an old one about twenty years ago that was a trifle slack but it was
light-weight with plenty of movements and the bellows came off easily which
enabled  the standards to be removed  or turn through 90 degrees for easy
transit.  It fitted into an executive briefcase. Avoid one with worn bellows
unless the camera is v cheap or you can get a used bellows readily.  A
friend bought a modern one (not cheap) and says it's good.  I have been
looking for the 69 variant.  Philip
