I haven't seen this one posted and thought it would be an interesting one.
Sorry to leave out 45, but why not let 45 be part of the thread as well!
One thing that I start to think about is the larger format sizes and how holders become heavier and heavier with the next step up in format size. There's always this mentioning about say, light field 8X10 cameras from Toho/Phillips/Ritter/etc. So you have a 6-7lbs 8X10 camera, but when you factor in the weight of holders, larger lenses, etc. etc. is there much of a point in having that lightweight field cam anymore?
Not to get off-topic, but I'm curious about how many holders everyone around here takes with them in these situations:
1) Travel by car, get out and walk say, a mile max, but more like the usual scenario of seeing a nice view during your travels and taking a digital, I mean, LF snap.
2) Hiking for say, a 5-20 mile hike.
3) Travelling via airlines around your country (be it a trip from NY to CA and then using the cam for some hikes with friends from CA or simply out of car, or a variation...or be it a trip from Sweden to Italy, etc. etc.). Whatever it is where it involves travelling by plane from within your own country.
4) Travelling Worldwide, be it one continent to another or multiple continents.
I think I have them mostly covered, but if you can think of other situations, that would be great.
So the question is for the 5X7 and up crew, though I leave this available for the 45 only shooters to jump in with their own setups during the above 4 situations.
