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.

'Twas yours truly. Thanks for remembering, and for following up with the info.

Oren, just in case your interested, the Fotoman 4x5 point and shoot should be coming out thru Badger Graphic in a month or so.

Thanks Wayne, I'll definitely be keeping an eye on that...
