How about weight for the 8x10?
Thanks Paul
Paul, I recall you saying that you're working on a handheld 4x5 with some front movements. Is this that version or is this a fixed lens camera?

I've got the sample camera here .... thanks Paul. Waiting for 75mm and 110 cones to arrive so I can put the beast through its paces with a 75mm Grandagon N and a 110 Super Symmar XL. So far, in terms of fit and finish I like what I see. The groundglass/back arrangement is very nice. I like the way you slide the groundglass back out ad a holder in. I slipped a 545i holer in and all went well. Obviously, the proof is in the images and that still has to wait a few more days. Soon as the cones arrive I will post an image or two here with some comments.
Paul, if you're out there I try this again: I recall hearing on this forum about a fotoman handheld 4x5 with some front movements. Any news on that???
Thx
Walter
Here is some Fotoman info:

New website looks nice, and is easier to navigate. I notice the 6x9 is missing; the old site had it as "coming soon"; has it been discontinued or cancelled?
Ciao!

Walter... we are currently developing our shift adapter, which will be an add on stage allowing for rise and fall. The prototype work is being executed using our 612 camera, but once proved out shift adapter for all of our camera will be produced. Gordon... for the meantime, we have discontinued plans for the 6x9.
