Re: [Largeformat] Photo trip to the South West

Typo, should have read "1971 R65". My R90/S is in the shop
right now, have been thinking about carrying LF on it, but
not the Wisner 5x7 Tech Field, which is really too big and
heavy. I've designed an 8x10 ultralight that I think will be
easily packable on the bike, got a travel pack to put it in,
or maybe a cooler type bag would work, or "maybe" a giant
beemer suitable tank bag. On the R65 I had a rack case for
35mm and TLR systems. Several people on one newsgroup or
other say they bike with 4x5 systems. Fortunately Jack and I
each had bikes (he doesn't right now, last one died), so we
could pack required camping/cooking gear, tools, clothes and
camera system. I can't imagine trying to do this if riding two-up.
