Only issue is weight. My RZ67 must out weight many light weight 4x5s.


I borrowed a friends RB 67 and it was heavy than my 4x5. It was quicker to use, but really much heavier than my BJ Orbit 4x5. Its a good camera but travel isn't its strong suit. Color to get 4x5 processed (I think the last few sheets I did was about $10 for processing an a contact print) is high enough that I am not likely to go play.

The BJ Press Camera I didn't think about, but I don't understand what you mean Nick about the spring back. Does it accept regular 4x5 film holders??
