Just saw the pic, and I am sure it is not vingetting. Go with the other answers
just my 2 cents. Are you sure that you werent using too wide of lens and maybe a little too much rise? Only questioning because I did it. Rick
There is one on ebay right now for 5.00 and has 4 days left.
Gustavo, I can send you a manuel but it didnt help me much. I ended up setting up my 4x5, and got my nikon and sekonic 508 out. I then took a incident, a reflected with the nikon F4, and a reflected...
Thats a very easy question for a toyo GX owner, A Toyo GX. Sorry , had to say it eventhough its a 15 pound camera with no lenses.

You can also go to ant wood working shop and buy a spray can called " TOP COAT" I use it on my table saw tops and it goes on like a fine white powder, and will protect against rust like nothing Ive...
Good lord, it looks like from the stats that when I carry my GX , I might as well have 2 or 3 field camera instead as backup.
Toyo-GX website says 14.1 pounds, weighs in at 14 pounds, fells like a large deer if I pack it more than 500 yards from the car. And still wouldnt trade it for nuthin.
Cant you take a spot meter reading and then shoot through your filter to get a #??

AJB, if you are in the states ,please email me so we can talk before you buy. I cannot offer items on here, but believe me , you will want to chat a minute. Thanks, Rick
Phil, The quick way to check what these guys are sayin is to cover the back standard with your cloth and see how the photo looks, if it is still there , cover the front standard. if you still have a...
I use the 508 and love it, it will do incident and give me a variable spot.
Thats the best way I know of. I used a very fine file and grooved 8 backs all in a different location, then permenetly numbered each back and then took a sheet of film, lyeyed it in the holder and...
I only use the dark cloth to compose, your loupe should let minimal light in so I fine focus without the cloth.
sorry, I just found out what a 23 g is.
I had a toyo G and just sold it. If a 23 is the same thing let me know. I have a 2004 toyo GX and it is a complete system that I would work a deal with you. If a 23 G is different I am sorry and if...
it means to get up ,the sun will be there in a half hour. Sorry I too could not resist
There is a mint toyo VX on ebay, with a starting bid of a grand. It will do everything you need and is also compact like you need. I have a GX, which is a little harder to pack but it does all I...
I have a distance to subject question. Is there a formula that says ,if I have say a 150 lens on my 4x5, and I want to do a portrait ( and say I want head and shoulders shot which is about 16...
The road to bear lake is getting redone right now, to get to bear, and dream you will have to park a little before sprague lake and take their stupid shuttle up to bear and hike the rest. the...
I beleive that only the aperture will affect depth of field. Tiliting the front lens will help bring in focus of the farest point but will not affetc depth of field.
I am just getting into 4x5. I have been shooting since 87 and went to 4x5 3 months ago. This is the funnest camera I have ever had. I am needing to know if anyone knows of a good book to buy to help...
