Wicklow > Republic of Ireland I can recommend the Linhof Technica field camera. It is available as the Models III, IV and Master. The only problem I know of with the earlier models is that they can be awkward with a wide-angle, such as a 90mm. The camera is a little tank, yet it is small enough to fit in my backpack along with an extra couple of lenses, spot meter and film holders. I haven't used it for at least five years now, but for some reason don't want to part with it. Same with my 8x10 field outfit. Ken
