Hi Chris
Have you thought of getting one of Mike Walker's cameras? They are fairly light (2.9Kg for the folding version) and beautifully made. What's more, he is doing a discount on them for the next couple of months, so you should be able to get a brand new camera for less than £1000.

Hi Chris, glad it arrived OK, I was amazed it arrived the next morning as promised what with xmas and all!
Tha panels are standard Technika boards inc patterns such as Wista, Shen Hao etc. The shutter will be a No 0 if it is a 90mm Super Angulon as I have the same lens.
Good places to try are MXV, Ffordes and of course Robert Whites.
Linhof Studio will sell the boards too but will most likely be original Linhof boards which are very well made but consequently quite expensive.
Emjoy the new camera
