Wow, sounds great, which weekend can I borrow it.
-Rob (near Toronto, but would be willing to travel to borrow it)
That's pretty good - my 7x17 Technical weighs just over 13 lbs but it's the additional 'stuff' (holders, lenses, case, etc) that really chalks up the overall weight of the kit. Did your camera come with the 'new' lamb skin bellows?
Congrats!
What length bellows does this model have?
Cheers!
Just out of curiosity Robert, what was the time frame between the time you placed the order (paid for the camera) and delivery?
Robert,
Congrat's on the new camera. I look forward to seeing beautiful photographs from it.
The weight sounds great. I have an 8x20 Technical and it weighs about nine pounds heavier.

I beleive you are wrong, please send the camera to me so I can verify your weight measurement...
Congrats and enjoy......I am green with envy.. :)
Nice. My technical 8x20 weighs in at 22 lbs. Should have gotten the expedition model. Those darn 8x20's are so nice to use no matter the weight.
Yes it has the new lamb skin bellows ...as a matter of fact ron informs me my bellows was the model for the photo on the wisner web site. As for the time frame...I ordered the camera and took delivery in 8 weeks
Mike i"ll have to get back to you on exact bellows draw. I'm presently out of town. But good question I was so excited to get this cherry beauty I never thought to check
