Toyo/Omega 45D and 45E

[tjaded]

Hi all--
I have two Toyo/Omega monorail cameras, a 45D and a 45E. I recently bought a bag bellows that turned out to be the wrong one. Both these cameras have the bellows attached by something like 12 little screws. Anyway, I was hoping to identify the bellows I bought so I can get it to someone that can use it and then track down one I can use. I've got two nice wide lenses just itching to be used! So....does anyone know of a part number or something similar for the correct bag bellows for me? I look on eBay and try to count holes on the attaching ring, but that system obviously doesn't work so well!
Thanks,
Matt

The Omega 'F' has an interchangable bellows that allowed simple switching to bag bellows via a couple of sliding clips. You probably got a bellows meant for a Toyo/Omega with that feature.

There are no bag bellows for the D or E. You might be able to adapt a bag to work but the D & E were not intended for use with a bag. You might want to look at an F or G (G, GII, GX)

That's a bummer! Well, I guess I could always buy ANOTHER camera!

These days, that is probably your' cheapest option.

or dedicate one camera to bag bellows, they're not that hard to make, and if you have a toyo bag, you simply remove the screws that attach the frame to the bellows. pm me for more details, as it's not that difficult.
