Try the Goodman Zone camera, a 3d printed medium format plastic camera. Also the Rolleicord or Rolleiflex T and earlier 3.5 models and the Minolta Autocord are light enough (~1 kg). I have a 3.5 MX-EVS and a 'cord IV.

- tuatoru 4y agoWe have a Rolleiflex T, which we love for its mechanical qualities (so clever!) but still find heavy. My wife uses Olympus (micro four-thirds) digital, which is much lighter. Olympus make (made?) some great lenses.

- petre 4y agoWell, the only lighter medium format camera which isn't an ancient folder is the Fuji GS645S and it's not much lighter than the T, only 200 grams or so. There is a wide angle version, the GS645W which is even lighter at 680 grams. But it has its quirks: you frame it in portrait mode and the shutter has issues and makes a loud noise as well. You'd be lucky if you find one without fault. The Rollei T is great but I was fed up with the crank issues on my 3.5 MX-EVS and bought an inexpensive 'cord. What kept me away from the T was the >1 kg weight and also the price. The 'cord is 830 grams but the viewfinder is qiute dim and not usable in weak light. I too use a digital micro four thirds camera, but a Panasonic with the Leica 15 mm f1.4 and the first edition 20 mm Lumix lens. It's not much lughter than the 'cord
