For sale is a Toyo Original Field 4¾ x 6½ Camera in excellent condition with some minor scuffs and marks. This is a tough, compact and lightweight (2.4 kilos) camera.

Uniquely, this particular camera accepts Linhof Technika style lens boards rather than the usual Graphic boards. This will let you use a wider variety of lenses, including those mounted on Copal 3 shutters or recessed lens boards.

The camera has rise, fall, tilt and swing on the front and tilt on the rear. The bellows are light-tight and supple and extend from 65mm to 380mm. The gridded focusing screen is bright and clear.

It comes with the half plate back shown in the photos, along with two Toyo holders for this format. If you wish, I can substitute it with a 4x5 back along with two film holders. A 5x7 back was made for this camera, but is extremely rare. You could adapt an existing back fairly easily.

Half-plate, 4¾ x 6½. I didn't realize that the title doesn't accept fractional values.
