I went on a fb group to sell a lens and ended up buying this kit lol.

Sakai 4x5 + 65mm Rodenstock + 150mm Fujinon. Bunch of accessories too like wide angle bellows, 120 back, polaroid back etc.

Definitely worth an hours drive, got from the original owner, apparently they got this for university and haven't used it since.

Looks like I'll have to get a really sturdy tripod for this guy.

A monorail ?

You'll get a mighty fine workout hauling that in to the back country to do landscapes

Ah, I don't know that one specifically but not all monorails are that heavy or unwieldy. Many are workable for back country landscaping.

LOL between that and the tripod I should be barely conscious by the time I find a nice spot.

I actually have a linhof iv for location stuff, I wanted something I could use indoors so this is perfect. I don't do a lot of landscape, I mostly like portraits. I think i'll end up unloading the 65mm and 150. I'm pretty happy with a pair of caltar 90 and 210.

I actually didn't know that until I posted the pic on a fb group. One member told me Sakai manufactured the Toyos. I thought this was just a little known 3rd party.
