PRICED LOW FOR FAST SALE

$1200 USD + Shipping

Toyo 45A updated to mk11 spec with rotating back and glass.

New bellows a year ago !

Includes many extras including:

Schneider Symmar-S 210mm/5.6 lens, a 6-element/4-group Plasmat-type lens in a Copal #1 shutter. 210mm is considered to be a "normal" lens for 4x5, a 210mm is similar to a 70mm lens in 35mm. This lens is on a custom made 'tophat' extended lensboard. This lets you rack the focus out for closeup product and beauty shots, very useful in day to day shooting. the lens has a couople of small dents around the front metal rim but is in otherwise excellent condition. Glass is very good.

Fujifilm Fujinon SWD 90mm f/5.6 Lens, w/ Copal #0
This lens is in excellent overall condition. On lensboard.

Extra TOYO Lensboard
I will include a 4x5 film holder.

Rotating 45A mk11 4x5 film back and folding cover/shade is included.

Original sliding Toyo 6x9 120 rollfilm back is included.
Back features a Mamiya 6x9 rollback and magnified viewer - see photos.
- press a button and slide from groundglass to filmback with auto film mask so its a single button operation.
- Magnified viewing hood can swing open so you can use a loupe if needed but the magnified hood is good enough to get accurate focus.

I might be interested in this.

I'm guessing the 210mm is pretty much borked as far as attaching a filter of any sort??

Also what is your location for shipping consideration?

Hi Larry,
I'm located in New York City.
I still use it with filters just not the screw in kind. For 4x5 I prefer other filter options. You can always use a gel filter behind the 'tophat' extended lensboard. Toyo lensboards come off quickly which makes this an easy and cheap option. Optically the works perfectly and renders beautifully. I use it in the studio for portraits and some fashion / beauty / jewellery stuff. It was in that exterior condition when i purchased it, the glass is excellent. Works great in the studiuo with the 6x9 sliding back. I'm selling out of neseccity not cause i dont love this kit.

looking online it appears there is a few ways to fix the filter thread. not wanting to damage the lens and using gel filters anyway i jusst left it.

Thanks for the reply.
One other question, will the roll film slide accept other roll film backs?

Not sure if I'm ready to make the move to 4X5 yet but this has me thinking.

Hi Larry,
The camera has a universal graflock style back which will accept other backs.
The slider back accepts mamiya 6x9 backs. which are regarded as having the flatest film plane of all the available 6x9 rollfilm backs. You can pick up more mamiya 6x9 backs to use with the slider but they are the only ones that fit this back.
Hope that helps.
Ian

Appreciate the reply. Looks like a decent deal but I'm just not quite ready to make the move up yet.
Good luck.
