I know about Badger Graphic.

What other retail stores currently sell Tachihara cameras and accessories?

Not sure but I have a camera Tachihara made as a OEM for another company (TOKO I think) that I am looking to sell.

The Calumet Wood Field is also a rebranded Tachihara.
Not sure this is the info you're looking for, though.

According to Ken Rockwell, they were discontinued this year.

ah...if that is true, it would explain why nobody seems to carry this stuff anymore.

Still would be interested in any shops still selling what they have in inventory....

I'd look for a used one. Mine is 25 years old and, except for some pitting on the brass, functions perfectly.
I'm also not sure what you mean by accessories. The boards are Linhof style. What other accessories did you have in mind?

I have an 8x10. it takes Sinar sized boards. Was thinking that they used to offer reducing backs for the 8x10 but cannot find anybody that has one in stock.

I would definitely send an e-mail to Jim at MPEX. I recently needed a part for my 4x5 Tachi, and Jim really helped me solve the problem.

Possibly the reducing backs for the Wista 8x10 will fit. You might contact Bob Salomon at HP Marketing and see if he can give you the dimensions.
