    I think my Mamiya RZ is not to heavy. Or does that come from the pleasure it gives me when shooting with it.

    There are older folders that are lighter, but my favourite modern(ish) lightweight MF camera is the Fujica GS645S. Nice to handle, light and compact, and the lens is spectacular. I think it would be hard to find a MF camera with 'modern' optics that was much lighter than that.

    I'd vote for a folder, too. I've got a Minolta Semi-P that's very light.

    Most of the volume in any camera is empty airspace. As long as there's no prism, the real weight is in the lens. Slow lens == light weight. Hence TLR's. Makes my Bronica 645 RF not heavier than my G2, too.

    The lightest modern MF I have used is the Fuji 645zi. In fact I sold it because it felt a bit too insubstantial to me. I replaced it with a Bronica which (sorry Dave) is MUCH heavier.
