I had an interesting link to an article about photojournalists comparing a Speed Graphic kit to a Canon Digital kit. The Speed Graphic kit weigthed 17lbs. The digital kit is 59lbs.
Ah, found the link.

please give me a finely tuned 35mm rig any day, and you may keep your wooden box and large but semi-engineered lens...
You might want to look at what companies like Canham and Rodenstock are doing these days before you talk about semi engineered anything.
