Hi from a new guy! Just got a Crown 23, what an awesome camera!

Question: would a Century Graphic be lighter in weight than a comparably equipped Crown 23? If so, by how much?

Thx!

Vitaly, according to my wife's highly inaccurate kitchen scale, my 2x3 Crown weighs ~ 50 g (2 oz) more than my Century. Both cameras with Graflok, Kalart, tubular view finder, both without board and lens. The Century has has a heavier strap.

Practically speaking, my 2x3 Crown and Century weigh the same.

Thanks, Dan! (And thanks to your wife for the use of her scale!) This is very helpful information.
