Cleaning things up around the house/studio. Disorganization use to work for me when my brain was more organized.
I found the weights of the various components of my 5x7 system I have taken backpacking.
10lbs Camera, lens, darkcloth
9lbs. 8 loaded film holders, over-the-shoulder bag with meter, cable release, notebook, etc.
8.5lbs Tripod and head
27.5 pounds or 12.5 kilograms total
No wonder my last three backpack trips were with the 4x5....

The lightest 8x10 that I once owned was the E. & H.T. Anthony Champion (Variation No. 3), weighing a mere 4 lbs. 6 oz. (without the lens). I really miss that camera. :-(
