Toyo field 45aii review.
Weighing a mere 6 1 lbs and folding to a compact 4 2 x 7 4 x 8 2 it combines modern alloy durability with classic design.
The use of a field camera lends itself to a different mindset from that of a digital slr.
The toyo field 45aii offers the best of possibilities with exceptional valuein a full featured portable ruggged and lightweight 4x5 technical fieldcamera.
Its important to note that toyo makes 2 versions of this field camera.
There are rear swings and tilts but no shifts.
The toyo 45a field camera.
Toyoview toyo field 45ax large format description the 45ax camera body is identical to the classic toyo field 45aii and is equipped with a standard reversible 4x5 graflock back in place of the 45aii s deluxe revolving back to economize on weight and cost.
The former requires time and contemplation while the later offers convenience and speed.
I absolutely think its worth the extra cash to get the revolving back as its so quick and easy compared to the non revolving back.
I tote my toyo 45aii around in a backpack along with lenses filters focusing cloth ground glass magnifier and film holders.
Swings sideways as well as the back tilt are very restricted only a few degrees.
