[Largeformat] Schneider Symmar-S too big!

[edward1@voyager.net]

    I need some simple advice.  I am a casual, parttime large format
user and I need a smaller lens for my Zone VI 8x10 field view.  I
currently am using a Schneider Symmar-S 360mm.  It is huge!  Because I
like to hike and carry my gear in a large backpack I really need to pear
down the load if possible.  It was suggested to me that Fuji perhaps
makes a comparable, but slower 300mm or so that would really take off
the weight.  Any suggestions?  Does anyone have a good alternative
lens/shutter for sale or trade?

    Also, the Zone VI camera itself is quite a load.  I was wondering if
anyone in the group has or could suggest a more compact (and affordable)
alternative.  I may be interested in a sale or trade.
