A "View II," with its longer rail (and, probably, more complex "Graflok" back) might weigh a couple of ounces more, but I don't think the total weight would exceed 8 lb., or not by more than an ounce or so at worst. |

I just received a couple of books from the UK and it took longer to unwrap them then it took for the boat from the UK-) I'm curious that nothing else is available locally? Even if you have to pay more for the camera you'll save the shipping. |

This camera has standard lens, graflok back, tripod mount and compendium hood... The compendium hood seems to weigh in at just over a 1/2 pound... So a complete camera, minus the hood, would be about 9 pounds... |
