The thread that referenced the following is too long to tack onto.
I finally got a scale, so to the person who asked: the 4x5 Printex with 135mm Tessar and rangefinder weighs 5 pounds, seven ounces. It is all-metal, after all. It's pretty well balanced, so that's not a lot of weight. Focuses easier than the Linhof Super Technika.
I'm thinking of sacrificing it to the next 75mm lens; this time without cracking the mag-alloy case.
