Nagaoka 5x4 type 1 from the mid 1970's. I bought it for 100 dollars in California in 2008; it must be the lightest field camera and really nice because I can leave a lens on it when it is folded.
The camera, two lenses, four dds, meter, lupe, 3 filters, small changing bag and a box of 50 all fit in my Billingham Hadley (the regular sized one), now I reckon that is a truly practical carry all day 5x4 outfit.
The camera has enough movements but like I said it is light so I do treat it carefully, it was second hand when I got it and I have dragged it around in a rucksack on my motorbike etc for the last two years and it is not showing any signs of distress yet.
I really like using it and the size / weight mean it gets taken on plenty of trips.
My two carry around lenses are both Schneider, 150 f4.5 Xenar and 90 f6.8 Angulon.
With the 150 and ground glass screen it weighs 1490 grams (3lb 4oz).
these was the same day but the pictures are taken with Kodak Aeroektar 178mm f2.5. This lens was regarded as a common initiative lens of hyper bokeh on 4x5 format, with the speedgraphic. Making a 35mm equivalent f0.68. Different to the 3G4E structure, the AE is a typical double gauss design, the bokeh is still my favourite style. These 3 pic are also with the kodak aerocolor film 2460, an aero with aero photo
