[B.S.Kumar]

For sale is a Toyo Original Field camera with a 4x5 back. Natively, it is a half plate camera. These are excellent, compact, lightweight field cameras, measuring 250 x 240 x 85 mm and weighing only 2.6 kilos. This is a very light and compact multi-format camera that will take formats from roll-film all the way up to 8x10, great for someone who backpacks and does landscape photography.

The camera is in excellent overall condition with the exception of the bellows that has been patched at one place. All movements are smooth, the locks are firm, and the bellows are light-tight and supple.

The 4x5 spring back can be rotated from horizontal to vertical and comes with the focusing hood.

The bellows extends from ~58mm to 350mm. The camera has forward and backward tilt and rise/fall on the front, and similar tilt on the rear.

Hello,
Is your camera still to sold ?

 

[Kodachromeguy]

Was this Toyo the equivalent of the Rittreck field camera? It looks like this Toyo can accept different size backs.

 

[Yannick WEISS]

Effectively different size of back exist, and at the beginning it was a 4 3/4 x 6 1/2 (half plate). But its lighter than the rittreck.
