Jeff,
The Folmer-Schwing banquet cameras, both 7X17 and 12X20, are in
general well-made, a tad sturdier in construction than the Koronas of
the same size. They are also somewhat less common.
However, whether F&S or Korona you should look for a camera with a
rear track extension. With the Korona 7x17, which I use, the rear
track increases bellows draw from 14-16" to 24-28", a feature which
gives one a lot more flexibility in the use of lenses of longer focal
length.
