Camera Weight and Size

Just putting things into perspective...

... Hy Peskin, SI's first staff photographer.

I'll never complain about weight again. ;)

Now it depends...

If that is a Speed Graphic with the focal plane shutter, it is going to be significantly heavier than if it is a pre-1955 Crown Graphic without the focal plane shutter.

Ya got me...(?). The biggest camera I have used is a Pentax 945 MF. And that was a lug (but worth it).

I'm willing to bet that the photojournalists back 40+ years ago had pretty well developed arms. ;)

But wait...isn't that an "L" lens mounted on the tripod to the left of the photographer. You just can't see the red ring because it is in B&W!
