Selling my beloved 8x10 camera. I'll regret it, but times are tough right now.
Read all about it here, photos are there as well: http://www.largeformatphotography.i...-810M-Resource-Fan-Page&p=1259541#post1259541
This was, at first, a Toyo 810M; my upgrades have essentially made it into an MII.
What does that mean? It has extra long bellows, and has the reversible front standard that the MII uses. That, and the back covers on the knobs, are all that distinguish the M from the MII.
I replaced the stock screen with one that was made for me by a good friend in New Hampshire; the screen is slightly darker than stock, but of much finer grain, and beautiful to focus with. No grid.
Bellows were bought just last January from Rudy, they are 950mm long, red, and in excellent shape. New bellows frames as well.
There's also a stabilizer plate on the bottom of the camera, which fits nicely to the body, and provides an extra measure of stability, especially at full extension.
Also included is my home-made clear plexi GG protector, which also serves as composing frame for 8x10 and WP.
Everything is humming nicely and working perfectly, it's a top camera in top condition. A few love bites here and there, but probably the most stable 8x10 field camera in existence.
Includes all the stuff mentioned above, plus the Toyo-Linhof adapter and a spare 6x6 Toyo board, hole cut to 88mm.
$2600.00 USD plus shipping.
Open to reasonable offers, but no promises.
Thank you
