I picked up a Toyo Compendium Shade in good used condition for a Toyo 45A / 45AII for a good price. The shade for the 45A/45II is harder to come by than the other Toyo compendium shade and were expensive new. The one I bought came with one of the two extension rods needed for long lenses - I'd like to find a rod to replace the missing one or a used pair of rods. The actual Toyo part number is 180-604. There is similar Toyo shade like it but iI don't think those rods are compatible and they do have a different part number. Interestily, I can extend the bellows more than normal with only the one rod - but only so much. BHPhoto and Midwest show the rods can be (back)ordered, but are expensive to do so through regular retail. I am hoping to find a used rod or pair of rods.
