Beautiful! Wish I could take it off of your hands.

What (or who) is stopping you?

[jpreston]

The medical bills from three surgeries in the past three months for my wife...

 

[B.S.Kumar]

That is waay more important than a camera. I hope she regains her health soon.

 

[jpreston]

She'll be fine. The bank account is the one that might not make it .

Nice.

Okay, the latches are now in place, and I found a new battery door, so all is well.

I'm impressed. Where did you find that battery door??? I had to buy a second Super Graphic camera to get hold of one...

And what did you do for the door for the second one? I got mine from a dealer here.

The second camera I bought was a beater that I'm using for spare parts. The main thing it had going for it was the battery door.

What you are selling here looks awesome. Toyo apparently made some subtle but useful improvements to the original Graflex design (replacing the proprietary body flash connector, adding the hotshoe). You've got a modern lens and 3 sets of infinity stops.

I'd buy this if I didn't already have two Super Graphics...

[berraneck]

what is the widest focal length you can use with the camera? thanks, B

 

[B.S.Kumar]

Hi B,

The cam assisted rangefinder will work with lenses from 90mm, but I "think" a 75mm lens may be usable. I can check and confirm tomorrow morning - it is almost 11PM here.

Thanks,
Kumar

This morning was a bit sunny, so I checked the camera with a 75mm lens. The 75mm intrudes maybe 1/4" into the film area when the back is horizontal. So it's not really an option, unless you want to shoot roll film, or you can live with the crop. Note that this is without movements. An 80mm Wide Field Ektar may be usable but a 90mm would be easier by far.

You mentioned that you have other Toyo models...any field camera bodies you're willing to sell that will take a 75mm lens?

 

[B.S.Kumar]

A recessed lens board "may" help on the Toyo Super Graphic. Not having such a board, I'm not sure. The other Toyo Field I have will also have the same issue, because it also takes the same Graphic boards. I have a couple of Wista metal field bodies that will allow a 75mm lens to focus properly. The Wista has a short bed that makes this possible. But this thread is about the Toyo Super Graphic. I'm sending you a PM.
