Just add a lens of your choice and chemicals from B&S, and you're set.

I've used this set-up to learn wet-plate, now I'm moving up to whole plate size.

The camera works perfectly, though it shows many love bites, scratches and the like.
It's remarkably solid, locks down tight, and has no problem whatever with large heavy lenses (those can go on a 6x6 Toyo board).
The Toyo d45M has geared rise, shift and focus.

Extension rail gives about 450mm total extension.
Compendium is very handy for those old, uncoated lenses and preventing flare.

Plate holder is clean and easy to load, and 4x5 plates are brand new.

Included in this sale:

Toyo d45M 4x5 camera
Toyo-Technika adapter board
Toyo compendium shade
Extra rail
Graphic film pack, converted for wet-plate use - film plane is spot-on
25 sheets of black aluminum, 4x5

All this for only $575.00 USD shipped in Canada/USA, includes Paypal fees as well.

Thank you

Up! I found a P67 elsewhere, so no trades needed at the moment.

$350.00 plus shipping for an extremely stable monorail with geared movements and easily available accessories.

I know monorails aren't sexy these days, but if you're shooting LF, stability and precision always win the day; your vibration-free images will thank you.
 
hi would you consider shipping to australia? if so, how much would shipping be?
 
No conversion needed.
This camera is ready to be used with 4x5 film backs, roll film backs, Polaroid backs, etc.. I simply used it as a dedicated wet plate camera using wet plate accessories.
It uses a Graflok back, and Toyo makes among the best of them.
I can include a loupe and I'll dig around for some 4x5 film holders, but I don't have a lens to add.
You can get good-quality 135mm or 150mm lenses, from Schneider, Fuji, Nikon, et al., mounted on a Technika board, for between $100-$200 these days.

Thanks!
