Well, consider the 4x5 Canham DLC, 4 lbs 11 oz / 2125g
http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~qtluong/photography/lf/canham/canhamdlc.html
With half a dozen lenses, it might weigh the same as an OM with comparable
lenses, focusing rail, and bellows. Pricier than an OM3Ti tho, and forget
hand holding. A good accessory to your tripod.
When I worked with Yousuf Karsh, 4x5 was considered the miniature format,
as most of his portraits were done with an 8x10 camera. Much easier to
retouch invisibly, but heavier to carry. So he had the ultimate accessory,
an assistant.
