FS: Toyo 45AII & Accessories

Post by Joe Wright » Sat Mar 10, 2012 5:28 pm Etc/GMT-1+01:00

I'm selling my Toyo 45AII 4x5 Field camera and a bunch of accessories to fund something else. This is the camera that hooked me on large format and I'm sure I'll be sad to see it go but I was seduced by a Linhof TK45 and this has been sat idle ever since.

The camera and all the other accessories listed here are in excellent condition and fully functional, showing very minor cosmetic signs of normal use.

1 - Toyo 45AII Field Camera £600.00 - Boxed with instruction manual. This has arguably the best back on a 4x5 camera, fully rotating with bale arm lever and can accommodate the Grafmatic sheet holder. Also has the fold out focus hood. Very underrated camera, excellent engineering, compact, precision geared focus, very stable, quick to erect and pack away. Full specs on the Toyo web site. For quick reference, I have used this with lenses 75-300 & 360T (324mm bellows ext).
2 - Toyo 100mm (4") Extension Back £200 - Boxed. Added to the Toyo 45AII this will give you an overall effective bellows length of 424mm. Great for close up work plus of course using longer focal lengths. Took a long time to find, difficult to get hold of in the UK.

3 - Genuine Toyo Recessed Lens Board Copal 0 £35.00 - 110x110 Also fits Canham.
4 - Genuine Toyo Flat Lens Board Copal 0 £30.00 - 110x110 Also fits Canham.
5 - Genuine Toyo Flat Lens Board Copal 1 £30.00 - 110x110 Also fits Canham.
6 - Genuine Toyo Flat Lens Board Copal 3 £30.00 - 110x110 Also fits Canham.
7 - Genuine Canham Flat Lens Board Copal 0 £30.00 - 110x110 Also fits Toyo 45AII.
8 - Genuine Canham Flat Lens Board Copal 1 £30.00 - 110x110 Also fits Toyo 45AII.

9 - Toyo/Canham to Linhof/Wista/Toyo Lens Board Adapter £40.00 - Allows the use of the smaller 96mm Linhof/Wista/Toyo type lens boards on a 110mm Toyo/Canham (FIts this Toyo 45AII). Took a long time to find this!

10 - Grafmatic 4x5 sheet holders x2 £50 each - Body and septums in good condition. Slide mechanism is nice and smooth, counters advance correctly, etc. (Sold)

11 - Nikkor W 150mm f5.6 Lens £200.00 - Boxed with original lens caps. In very good condition, lens looks unmarked and free from dust. Shutter fires fine at all speeds, shutter timer ring advances nicely. A beautiful lens no longer needed as I acquired a 150mm Schneider with the Linhof TK camera I bought.
12 - Schneider-Kreuznach Symmar 240mm f5.6 £175.00 - In great condition, shutter fires fine at all speeds, shutter timer ring advances nicely. Lens is showing the classic signs of 'Schneideritus' though with some speckling of the body flange. The glass is fine and to be honest whilst it doesn't look too pretty it has never affected the quality of any of my images. (I can give you an example)

13 - Manfrotto 808RC4 3 Way Tripod head £80.00 - Virtually unused in excellent condition.

14 - p+p extra, dependent on number of items bought, etc.

or, £1500-00 for the lot.

I will give preference to someone wanting to buy the lot, especially somebody starting out in LF and would throw in a few other bits and pieces to get you going (dark slides, cable release, dark cloth - I can supply colour neg/slide film at cost), if local/travel to North Wilts I can spend a few hours with you to get you started.

Check out my flickr photostream for what this camera, lens, etc, is capable of... outstanding results.

Drop me a line if you want to ask any questions.
