Hi Monte, I agree. When I'm in the mood I carry a Rolleicord (the small brother of the Rolleiflex) from 1954. The 'cord IV is quite nice (optics) and much cheaper than the latter models (about USD 40 when lucky to USD 200 for a perfect piece with shade). The camera weights only 24 ounces and with bag, film, light meter and some filters less than 3 pounds. Damn ultralighters! Ilja.
