This sale is for a used Toyo-View 4x5 45CF Field Camera with a 150mm f/6.3-f/64 Rodenstock Geronar Lens and the original boxes. This has become a very popular camera and now seems very hard to find. This camera is basicly in "Like New" Condition and I will back that up with a 7 day return policy. There are absolutely no problems with this camera or its lens, it's light tight, all movements are crisp, and the lens is in perfect condition. The only issue I have ever had with this camera was with a bent spring-leaf on the rear, but this has now been repaired, and I have even gotten extra replacements that I'll include. A great, light weight, reliable large format camera for any serious photographer. I realize that no one wants to bid on an item where the seller has just a few ratings, but I am a responsable seller. I am a photographer in Colorado that is selling some extra photo gear, audio gear, and other things. Not only for myself but also for some friends. I also run the Ebay store for Englewood Camera, I do know the site and procedures very well, so bid with confidence. The Toyo-Field 45CF is an impressive mix of large format capabilities and affordability combined in an ultra-lightweight housing. Toyo, the leader in field and rail large format cameras, designed the new 45CF field camera based on classic design elements from proven workhorse cameras, such as the legendary Speed/Crown Graphic and Toyo 45AII and AX series. When every ounce counts, the 45CF is the perfect choice for on-location 4x5 shooting. Utilizing lightweight Polycarbonate/carbon-fiber material, the 45CF is up to 40% lighter than equivalent metal field cameras without compromise in stability. Compact and portable, it can easily be stored in a backpack or camera bag, yet it's tough enough to handle the challenges of field or studio work. The economically priced 45CF is the ideal choice for beginners looking for the image quality and control of large format. It's also an attractive solution for the professional on-the-go, who needs reliable results with the benefits of a lightweight, compact system. As you would expect, the Toyo-Field 45CF incorporates the necessary camera movements that provide creative control and technical perfection, that only a large format camera can offer. Camera movements include front standard rise and fall, tilt, swing and shifts, along with drop-bed adjustment, offering control of depth-of-field, perspective and distortion. The 45CF includes a versatile tapered bellows, which provides extensive front standard movements while enabling compact bellows compression for portability. A full range of focal length lenses ranging from a 90mm wide angle to a 400mm telephoto, are fully compatible when mounted on a flat lens board with the 45CF. With either the Rodenstock 150 f/6.3 or 210 f/6.8 lenses mounted, the 45CF conveniently folds for travel. A unique lens window shows which lens is mounted without the need to open the camera. Similar to other Toyo field cameras, the 45CF also accepts roll film backs and digital backs via its built-in Graflok slider locks. Other features included are a dual-spirit bubble level, accessory shoe, 6x7 and 6x9 ground glass format markings and both a 1/4-20 and 3/8" tripod mount. NOTE: This kit includes a Geronar 150mm f/6.3 Lens Movements for Creative Image Control The 45CF offers creative image control ideal for field use, as well as many studio applications. The front standard offers rise, swing, tilt and shift. The rear offers tilt and swing. With these controls, correction of distortion, adjustment of depth-of-field, and manipulation of selective focus are all possible. Front Tilt Tilting the lens stage forward or backward will extend the plane-of-focus far beyond the effects of using small lens aperture. This adjustment allows near and far objects to be in focus at the same time. Front Swing Swinging or rotating the front lens stage left or right will extend the plane-of-focus far beyond the effects of using small lens aperture. This adjustment allows near and far objects to be in focus at the same time. Front Rise Raising or lowering the front lens stage alters the camera lens' point-of-view. This movement effectively raises or lowers the positions of the image relative to the film without tilting the entire camera up or down. This adjust allows for the control of convergence of vertical lines within a scene and maintaining lines parallel in a photograph. Front Shift Left and right movements of the front lens stage alters the camera lens' point-of-view. This movement effectively repositions the image left or right relative to the film without moving the entire camera left or right. This adjustment allows for the control of convergence of vertical lines within a scene and maintaining lines parallel in a photograph. Drop Bed With a wide-angle lens, it's possible for the camera bed to obstruct the viewing angle of the lens. By dropping the bed of the camera, a clear path is provided for a wide-angle lens. Macro Extension For ultra close-up photography, the extended bellows provide macro magnification capabilities without the need for accessory extenders or macro lenses. Closed Compact, portable and ready to go in a backpack or camera bag. Most compact lenses can be stored on-camera and do not need to be removed before closing. 4x5 45CF Field Camera Tilts Front: 15° backward, Rear: 15° backward Base Tilt, Front & Rear: 90 + 15° Swings Front: 20° right and left Rise & Fall Front: 28.5mm rise, 20.5mm fallBed drop: : 15° Shifts Front: 28.5mm left, 28.5mm right Camera Back Reversible Vertical/Horizontal International Standard GraflokGroundglass with acid etched grid-lines, 6x7 and 6x9 markings Interchangeable Bellows No Minimum Extension 3.16" (80.3mm) with flat lensboard Maximum Extension 14.04" (35.67 cm) Lensboard Toyo 110 x 110mm flat or recessed boards, or misc lensboard adapters Dimensions 7.91 x 6.97 x 4" (20.1 x 17.7 x 10.2 cm) Weight 3.42 lbs (1.5 kg) 150mm F6.3 Geronar Copal 0 Lens Optical Construction 3 elements in 3 groups Aperture Range f/6.3-f/64 Covering Power 62° Image Circle @ Infinity 180mm diameter @ f/22 Shutter Copal #0 Shutter Speed 1-1/500 sec., T, B Flange Attachment Size 32.5mm dia. x 0.5mm (std Copal #0 size) Slip-on Cap Sizes 42mm front, 31.5mm rear Filter Size 40.5mm Flange Focal Distance Not specified by manufacturer Overall Length 2" (~51mm) Weight 8 oz (230g) Maximum Format Size 4x5" More information can be found at:http://www.toyoview.com/Products/45CF/45CF.html I Will Only Ship to a CONFIRMED Paypal Address
