I just weighed my Busch Pressman Model C with Vue-Focus rangefinder and quick change lensboards, so I know the weights for it. I know it's a medium format view camera, but it's similar to a lot of large format cameras.

 

It weighs 3 lbs 6.9 oz (1.556 Kg) without a lens or lensboard installed, and 3 lbs 12.1 oz (1.707 Kg) with the stock Wollensak 101 mm Lens and shutter installed. I weighed the lens, shutter, and lensboard as an assembly, and the Wollensak 101 mm Lens, shutter, and Lensboard weighs 5.3 oz (0.150 Kg).

 

I did all of these on my RadioShack USB Electronic Scale, which I got years ago.

 

How much does the Busch Pressman Model D weigh, as that is a larger camera as it's 4x5 and not a 2.25x.3.25 camera?
