    I am actually leaning toward another 8x10 field right now because I know the 8x10 bug is going to hit again probably soon rather than later. just need to find something that will be able to use at least the Nikkor-T 800mm lens set and a Schneider Super-Symmar XL 110 mm F/5.6. It maybe too much to ask.

    Well in that case the Canham JMC 8x10 would be one possible camera, at least it has sufficient extension to use the 1200mm at far distances and can use the 110xl. Not too heavy for an 8x10 field camera either.

    Whatever camera you choose must support bellows draws in that range.
    (It's unlikely that you would use the 1200mm as a macro lens, but not impossible ).

    The Calumet C1 "Green Monster" would chew up those lenses no problem. Modern and light weight? Nahhhhh... forgitaboutit...

    I have looked into a few option and I may pick up another 8x10 down the road but for now I am seriously looking at a used Arca Swiss F-Line Field and picking up a long bellows. I don't have the 1200mm element to go with the 600/800 I have so it looks as though the arca might work
