When your selected field camera(s) has adequate movements for your photo applications, then you have another contender. Weight is of no consequence when camera/lens weights are balanced.

While considering a field camera for a 300mm Symmar-S, a two-and-a-half pound 300mm works well on a Technika IV with no weight or size issues. The two 300mm lenses are weight- and size-comparable. ...

Where can't you go in a jeep? Start in St. George, bring extra time, extra gas, boots, binos, shovel,...

Agreed. Go once and then again many times over. E, W, N, S, by car, jeep, foot or raft. History, geology, botany, legends, rumors, sights in black/white and color, changing weather. A mile...

Perhaps consider a dry lube like graphite. Discuss temps with your CLA tech.

Also, consider camera assembly/adjustments (focus/film holder loading/darkslide removal) in a vehicle. Then do...

As H mentioned, front shift changes perspective/point-of-view and rear does not and simply shifts the image. The concerns are nodal point locations.

Light? Yes. Small apertures (process lens), slowest film, bellows draw, polarization and color correction adds up to considerable attenuation. But no sweat, a well conceived plan will always be...

Process lenses are designed for copy work and feature low-low distortion and also keep chromatic aberrations at a minimum. Which one is hard to say. Focal length, film format and lighting method...
