Kipp Wettstein is a photographer who's work doesn't necessarily pertain to this class, but has a hobby that absolutely does. Growing frustrated with the weight of his view camera, Wettstein desired something more portable, so he designed a lightweight large format camera made of carbon fiber and aluminum. Wettstein on his cameras, from his website:
These camera are really beautiful and portable, with the bodies alone weighing around 4 pounds. He uses quality parts and designed the camera himself. It's really great that someone is doing this, making large formats for a more portable and fast-moving world. With at least six months to wait and (I am assuming) a couple thousand dollars, everyone can easily shoot in large format without any permanent spinal damage!
