I might be interested in trading my Phillips 4x5 international back for a bail back. I understand that it is lighter. I am trying to go suoer light weight these days to perserve my back. Anyone interested? Can I get you to weigh yours?

No one interested? I know this is a rare camera. Anyone even use one?

Thanks for the reminder Kirk. I'd intended to answer but got busy and distracted.
My 4x5 Phillips bail back, with Maxwell screen and cover glass (no clipped corners), comes in at exactly 13 ounces on a postal scale. Should be accurate to within 1/4 oz.
I should also add that, while the bail back works fine with sheet film in conventional, Polaroid, QuickLoad and READYLOAD holders, it doesn't open wide enough to accept Calumet/Cambo, Sinar or Toyo slide-in roll film holders.
