Hello.

I'm planning a back packing trip in S America for 6-12 months and want to take my time and a larger format than 35mm.

The little I know about LF suggests that I look at field cameras (?).
I'd typically travel with a 28, 85 and a 200 when using a 35mm, but appreciate lenses will not always correlate.

I've looked at Ebony and there are other alternatives too although I’ve only considered 5x4 field cameras thus far.

I'd appreciate your collective musings as I need to carry all this kit plus a rucksac, so it's got to be manageable, and a lighter tripod looks likely too.

Thanks.

Tim
