    Horseman made a vast array of accessories for their view cameras. For example, this extension back for the FA allows use of non-telephoto lenses in the 300 to 450 range.

    I think some here like to brag about their 50# camera bags! Not me. Both my 5x7 and 4x5 kits each weigh about 10 pounds not counting the tripod.

    Some people carry tripods that weigh more than everything else! They should definitely add the tripod to their bragging rights!

    While not a traditional field camera per se, how about a Canham DLC45-2?

    How would that compare, for field use, with a Technika?

    One excursion, another thread on roll film view cameras… OP needs more experience before making the wrong decision. Weight is not the only thing that contributes to a camera being a pain. Either stick with the F2 for a while or get a new Chamonix.
