Sounds like you want a lot of different things. I'd split them up if your budget is $2000. Get a dedicated pinhole camera from RealitySoSubtle or another manufacturer. They aren't that expensive.
If you want a lightweight 4x5 to carry around and want to focus fast then a Polaroid 110b or 900 conversion is the best in my opinion. I don't know who makes them anymore though. I've made a few myself and it isn't terribly difficult but it does take a lot of time to do it right. You are stuck with a 135ish lens but the convenience and speed of the camera is pretty nice.
