[pct-l] Hiking with 5 X 4 camera

[PTODDF@aol.com]

Welcome Graham, (myotis@cix.co.uk)
I caught your reference to 5 X 4, of course the US is backward and calls it 4 
X 5, no matter! This format for landscape is my main photo interest. I'm 
still using a Toyo Field Camera, excellent camera, but not light, certainly 
not ultra light. Do you have any suggestions for a much lighter field view 
camera? Right now it looks like I'm going to have to build, using maybe junk 
Graphic parts like spring back and front standard and some kind of homemade 
aluminum monorail. I use a ball head now for field views, would get a lighter 
one on a carbon fiber tripod for the lighter camera. (Copied you direct in 
addition to list, please reply to list.) Best, Todd in L.A.
