Mike,
3 weeks holiday in Bordeaux with 4x5" kit was hard as it is. Not just photographic kit I had to bring. You realise in Europe, we more or less have to check EVERYTHING in for the flight, except for a tiny little handbag which we can take on the plane? That space went for all the 4x5" film and lenses.
It wasn't so bad with 4x5" - we did the vineyard/coastal walk routes. It's harder work without a car. Every kg counts. It makes more sense to do the whole plate thing imho. The wife likes to bring her sketch pad and paints so we pretty much have a full travel kit. Next year it's just going to be a camper van.
I'm on the list for a Chamonix WP in 6 months already. So what's happening now that you've learnt Nagaoka no longer sell second-hand WP cameras anywhere in the world?
