I finally printed the copy you sent.
Thank you very much.

Think about the combo I use.
A Toyo 45AII and all the lenses mounted in the 110mm boards. Then pick up an inexpensive Toyo rail camera like a 45D,E,F or even a G,GII or GX with the 110mm to 158mm...
Look for a Toyo 810M. Good camera and your 158mm Toyo boards will fit or if you have Toyo 110mm boards for a field camera they will fit with the use of an adaptor available from Toyo.
It comes in handy in the studio when using a studio camera stand instead of a tripod. Some camera stand heads didn't have left-right tilt only forward-back tilt. So you use the movement in the rail...
The E and F had one big problem. The "ears" that the rise/fall gear rod goes through are brittle plastic. If they are damaged the camera is useless. Make sure you have it shipped well insured.
I have a 45AII with 65, 75 and a 90 for my short lenses. I use the 65 and 75 more than the 90. The 90 and 65 are on recessed boards because I like the extra movement but it is rare that I actually...
I tried it but didn't like the hassle. I just compose the 2x4 in the center of a full size neg and crop when I print.
Toyo 810G. It is one of my studio work horses.
4X5 and 8X10 with a 5X7 back for the 8X10
Toyo 45E. The plastic parts are so brittle thay shatter if they are damaged.
Start with a rail then add a field camera in the future. My basic setup is a Toyo 45GX in the studio and a 45AII in the field. An adaptor lets me use 110mm boards on the GX. The Toyo CX uses the...
Don't wory about it. I worked for a pro end camera store and we kept film in a cooler but when it came off the trucks in the summer it was hot. A few days in a backpack is nothing compared to 3 to 4...
ALKON
Rather old and made from aluminum. If you can find them in good shape they are nice. Smooth, tight, easy to load and very durable. Most I see are realy beat or oxidized. If they were used...
I use several of them depending on the film, subject and location. I don't meter a studio portrait on color neg, landscape on B&W neg or a product shot on chrome the same way.
Gentelman's Relish. A BBC period film staring Billy Connolly as a painter who takes up the new art of photography when his paintings stop selling. Worth finding if you can.
An Enviromental Portrait is one taken in the subjects personal enviroment. A portrait of a welder in his shop tells more about the person than just a shot in a generic studio setting. A portrait...
You might neeed a larger tripod and/or head depending on what you have now.
Toyo makes Omega View so parts are the same. Keep checking ebay for parts. The 45E and 45F had this problem. I have built and sold several 45Es from parts of broken cameras. Parts or damaged cameras...
I like a 4X5 frame. A half size frame makes the string to short to easly use for my 65, 75 and 90 lenses.
Let me put a different spin on this. I started photography when I was 12 and shot 35mm and Hasselblad but had never taken the leap into LF. I had studied it and shopped for gear. When I finaly got...
I guess my wife has become mellow over the years. She can come home to find me behind the 8X10 with a nude young woman laying on the piano and only remind me to be done before the kids come home so...
Thanks for the notice. I will come tonight.
Because I can't draw. As a kid I loved art but I can't draw. When I was about 12 I discovered photography and built my first darkroom the next year. I was finaly able to produce on paper the images I...
Wasatch Photo, Sat. Sept 6th 10 AM
Me too. We are getting a lot of response fron photographers who are interested in LF but don't even know enough to know what questions to ask. I think this is going to be a good workshop.

Shameless Bump
It depends on the intended use. For backbacking I would go with the Toyo 810M. If those are the only choices the Arca is a beter studio camera but my studio 8X10 is a Toyo 810G so I can share lenses...
Look for a "panel load" style where the back unzips not a "top load" where every thing must go in through the top. REI ha some good ones and they are great about letting you bring your gear in and...
Friends, family, neighbors, craigs list, local paper, college paper, local art or underground or alternitave papers. local art websites. I never have problems just be upfront and honest in what you...
If you have it in your budget look into the hybrid type cameras like a Toyo 125VX or some of the Arca Swiss line.
Size and weight are almost that of a field camera but with all of the movement of a...
Date is set. Sat Sept. 6th 10:00 to 4:00

Free LF workshop Sat. Sept. 6th at Wasatch Photographic 4th E 3900 So. 10:00 to 4:00. This workshop will cover the basics of LF photography with hopes of more advanced topics in the future depending...
Ken sold Wasatch last year to Robert and Paul who owned far West Photo. They want to support film and LF. Pictureline had no interest in hosting the event. I hope to have a date by tomorow.
We hope this will be the first of many events. This first one will be VERY BASIC. geared to the new LF shooter and those who are interested in LF but do not even have a camera. Subjects like, What is...
Who would be interested in attending a free LF symposium in Salt Lake City this fall hosted by Wasatch Photographic? Dates art not set, it is still in the planning stage.
Big +1 vote for Breathing color canvas. Prints like paper. Use PK ink. Will not crack like Epson when doing Gallery Wrap mounting. Great prices. Great customer service.
