Hello! Does anyone know how much the 5x7 speed graphics wiegh in comparison to the 5x7 Linhof Technika? I heard that the 5x7 Linhof wieghs in at about 10 pounds. Is the 5x7 Speed Graphic lighter? Thanks!

Probably about the same. My 4x5 weighs 8 pounds with a standard film holder, and just over ten with the flash attached.

I have a 5x7 Speed with a Graflex back here and it seems pretty light. Unfortunately, I don't have a scale to weigh it on, but comparing it to my 4x5 Speed with Graflok back, I can't tell which is heavier - they seem about the same. Anyway, I'd say it's a pretty light camera - until you put the bag mag on. That thing adds a lot of weight to it!
