Digital BW, The Print

I have friends with the Zone VI and Wisner wooden field cameras and they
work fine.  You might want to go with a Linhof Technica since you already
have the lenses mounted (it's not beautiful unless you admire fine machine
work).  I have one and it is a tank, plus it has a quite long bellows draw.
It doesn't seem that heavy compared to a wood camera.  You can save weight
and bulk by going with ready-load film.  If you have a really wide-angle
lens, say wider than a 90, you'll want to see if your camera can accommodate
it.
