For Sale FS: What format do you want to shoot today?

FS: What format would you like to shoot today?

I have for sale a Toyo Field camera that does it all - roll film 6x7 and 6x9, 4x5, half-plate film, half-plate glass wet-plate and full-plate film. And if you find the back, 5x7 as well!

You'll not find one in better shape! The Toyo Field is one of the slimmest and lightest field cameras, weighing slightly over 2 kilos with the half-plate back. With the 4x5 back, it weighs 2.5 kilos.

This particular camera has the unique and rare slim back that takes the special Toyo half-plate holders. It is marked 11x16 cm, rather than the usual 4 3/4 x6 1/2 inches. The regular 4 3/4 x6 1/2 inch back could also probably be used - I do not have it.

So, included in this sale are the following items:

1. Toyo Field 11x16 camera;
2. One Toyo slim half-plate film holder;
3. Roll film sliding back;
4. Rittreck 6x7 roll film back;
5. Rittreck 6x9 roll film back;
6. Toyo 4x5 film back with bail arm;
7. Toyo Field lens hood.

The price for these items is USD 900.

Optional items:

7. Half-plate glass plate back - will need some filing to make it fit, with one book-form holder USD 150.
8. Full-plate 6 1/2 x 8 1/2 extension back. The bellows is shot and will need replacement. There are some rust marks on the rails, but these could be cleaned easily. USD 200. If you need only the back, without the extension, I would be glad to sell it for USD 150, if no one wants the extension.
9. Eight original Toyo 6 1/2 x 8 1/2 full-plate film holders in good condition. The sample is indicative of the condition of all the holders. Each is priced at USD 80.

I will consider splitting up the various components, but would prefer to sell them together. The total price for all the items listed above is USD 1890. Take everything for USD 1620.

All prices include worldwide shipping via JapanPost EMS.
