Accidents are real setbacks, I recently finished two months of physical therapy on my left shoulder. Sanding drywall and painting under the pressure of my wife's insistence on an early termination of the project caused me to obtain a repetitive motion injury. Before that I had just glued down a bamboo floor.
Now I'm into the build of a Rosewood & Ebony 11x14 camera. There's a few miles from the car, a few yards from the car, next to the car, and finally my solution; in the car. In reality I'm realizing this isn't a backpacking camera. I'll take it out but with judgement. Like you stated about Richard Ritter's design, lightweight, that's the key. It'll be my next endeavor, a light weight field camera. After that, d***tal perhaps, who knows. Sorry to digress.
An Ebony 20x24 would be too heavy for me, I'd have to put on my engineer and architects hat to design one of that size!
