There are many places on Sye where you can get great images from the roadside. Some of the locations have been done to death though.
Yep, except that mine has a grid engraved on the matt surface. Installation took 10 mins, as per instructions from the seller (fresnel facing the back).
Thanks for the comment, Neal. I was a bit worried that installing the fresnel in the Toyo might not be straightforward - the camera manual hints that it might be. I have installed a fresnel in an...
Hi all,
I want to add a fresnel lens to my Toyo 45G. There are plenty on ebay atm, how straightforward is the fitting going to be? Am I going to need anything other that just the lens and a...
But what about a tripod? i can get a TOYO 45G into a rucksack fairly easily but there is no way that I can add a tripod.
Herllo,
Does anyone know how to restore a sticky Toyo G bag bellows? There was a thread on the subject quite a few years ago, where acetone was used, but I would rather not go down that route. Are...
I ordered a Toyo 45G plus a lot of accessories in a metal box from outside the UK, but opted for sea shipping from Japan to the UK. Price was fantastic (12GBP), but the time it has taken left a bit...

Thanks for the comments folks. I was aware that a full length portrat is going to mean working quite a distance from the model. I was wondering if anybody found this to be a hinderence? i had not...
Hi,
I am a landscape photographer, but would like to try some portaiture in a studio. I am wondering if I can get away with using a 210mm lens on a 4x5 camera when shooting a full length portrait,...
I have the blue, and don't find it at all shouty.
My lens is indeed the lens illustrated in the catalogue above. I got it for a good price and cannot wait to try it out (only the lack of a camera is holding me back). I have struggled to find much...
I've just picked up an example of this lens in a Copal #1 shutter to use with an Intrepid 4x5 camera that will hopefully arrive at some point in the next week or so. There seems to be very little...
I ordered one of these cameras a few weeks ago to serve as an introduction to LF photography. The selling point for me was the weight of the camera. For fifteen mile hikes in the Scottish Highlands I...
