Hi RJ - saw your post and thought I'd let you know about a Wista that I found at my local camera shop.

I've seen it and it looks nice but more importantly, the shop is real good to deal with and they have a nice return policy. Typical disclaimer: I don't work for them and don't get a commision.
Good luck and take care :-)
roger -- what about the fine horseman 6x9 view cameras. the rollfilm back will be a real convenience in your situation. the "multiformat" versions also accept 4x5 backs.
a horeseman 980 is now my standard travel camera when i want either movements or GG viewing. with the std 65, 105, and 180, it is a great kit for travel. and it can take a beating as well as any linhof.
a horseman 980 is what you need.
Roger just made a good point but if you are going to think Horseman consider the FA or HD. About the same size and weight as the 6x9 models and full fledged 4x5 technical field cameras. Lighter, smaller and IMO more rugged and more precise than the Wista metal fields. I uave actually sused them both side by side to confirm this. On the down side, you will not be able to use your 300 mm lens on a Horseman but the 240 works fine.
