Forget it. You won't find any FP4 in 8x10 here, I order all of mine from BH. Cybergraphics only imports FP4 and HP5 in 4x5 sizes only and that you have to order direct from them. At the big...

I just bought one in Tokyo at the Shinjuku Yodobashi less than two months ago for a ULF camera I am about to order. The price at the time was 145,000 yen. Which at today's exchange rate is about...

This is true. Actually one of the lenses on the production list was the 300mm Telephoto, even though its been listed as discontinued.

On a trip to Tokyo last week, I stopped by several shops looking for a 450mm Fuji CMW (not the C), and was told the same thing. They are currently sold out on many lenses and now doing a production...

In the last three months I have seen exactly 4 of these lenses here. I have been tempted to pick one up to play with, but they tend to disappear rather quickly. I can keep my eye open is anybody is...

Sorry for replying to this thread late, I am currently on the road in Sapporo. At this point Toyo has not comeback with a final price. And when I called them again two weeks ago, they said the just...

I have a box of the new Velvia in 4x5 here already, but have not had a chance to use it yet. Its on my list of things to do in the next couple of weeks, but I still have several boxes of the old...

I have shot a couple of rolls of it, vs Velvia 100 and old Velvia 50. I need to spend some more time with it, but initially I am very pleased. It seems to be very very close to the old Velvia 50. ...

Sheldon,

Thank you for reposting this!! I was looking for the orginal post for quite a while but couldnt find it, as I have been wanting to do something similar, but couldnt remember the foam...

81 is the country code for Japan, BTW.

Hi Rob,

Tachihara, doesnt have a email address. They say quite clearly on thier homepage, they dont have an email address and they cant reply to it.

The Phone number and address are

Personally I have no experience with the Darkroom Automation timer, but based upon everything I have read I bought the RH Designs Stop Clock Pro. Dr. Richard Ross, owner(?) of RH Designs is a heck...

I have a Wehman 8x10, and love it. Its a great camera thats light weight and built like a tank. That being said, precision is not word I would associate with it. But, regardless its a great...

I am slighter more than 10 years younger than the average.

Gary

There is not way that it can. I have a 45AII, and there is no way the camera will close with a lens that size.

Hope it helps.

Gary

When I sold my Tachihara 8x10 (replaced with a Wehman), I shipped it from Japan. I just packed it very well, wrapped it in multi layers of bubble wrap, and the lots of popcorn. I shipped via EMS...

HI Dirk,

Actually my local Yodobashi had it in 120, 220 and 4x5 yesterday. I actually bought 4x5 and 120, will be going out to give it a test today.

I am going to compare it to the old 50 and...

Just a quick update. I am waiting on the final price quote from Toyo. Considering the number of people who are still currently interested, the number is less than half who originally expressed...

Thats exactly what it is. I have one sitting right here.

Gary

Thanks again for all the helpful info. I tested it a little bit with my 8x10, and honestly I am afraid to keep it mounted. Not sure if camera is up to it. While it pains me to let this one go, I am...

Mikkatsuki Waterall in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. This was taken with a Toyo 45AII and a Fujinon 90mm SWD lens at f/32 for 6s on Velvia 50. One of my favorite waterfalls, I try to get up there...

Hi All,

Thank you for the very helpful info. The lens is large, so much so I am a little afraid to mount it on the front of my 8x10 Wehman. I will think about it and I may sit on it for a while,...

Hi All,

Spent a good part of the weekend, rumaging through old pawn shops in Tokyo. I came across a huge Dallmeyer 3a lens with a complete set of waterhouse stops, I think. The little...

Thank you everyone. The deadline is this coming Friday for me to give them an answer, so I will keep it open until then.

Best Regards.

Gary

Agreed. Neither format will vanish and costs will rise, they will survive.

Gary

Jack,

If you do decide to sell it, please let me know! I am very interested.

Regards,

Gary

Glad your lens was okay.

Personally, I have had problems with both a couple of no name Chinese and a Nikon board, for exactly the same reason you desribe. The boards fit so loosely into the...

Ditto.

I tried trays and the unicolor method, and finally bought a Joob 3005 expert drum, and perfect negatives everything.......except when I have mad a mistake.

Hope it helps.

Gary

Thanks for all the kind words.

I have to give them an answer by the end of the month, so I will leave this open until until March 30th. For anybody who is still interested, please let me know....

Ted,

I dont blame you at all. This is quite a bit higher than I orginally suspected. I think part of it is artifical. In that I really sense they are going to bring them to market themselves,...

I carry extra film, and also a medium format body either a Bronica ETRSi or a Mamiya 7. Sometimes two light meters as well, along with extra batteries and one or two roll film backs for the 4x5. ...

Hi All,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to everyone, between a fast trip to the US and the flu I have been somewhat behind in everything.

After talking with the rep, I have a pretty good...

Actually, I do have some pricing information, and other information from the rep got it yesterday. I need to translate all in to English and type it up. The short version is they are going to be...

You are exactly right. If they make themselves or through a sub contractor, or if they bring them to mark themselves or they go through this order. As long as they get made.

I have to run, I...

THis is news to me. My last conversation with Toyo 10 days ago said they would be willing to produce the holders and they would be getting back to me with the final details. However I am currently...

One quick thing I noticed. There seem to be two different 4x5s I have seen recently. The red bellows one, seems to be the nicer to the two and comes in at 100,000. The black bellows one is 85,000...

Michael,

I never got any pms from you, so I will reply to you off list once I get home. Currently I am at the office, and the mail server is taking a holiday.

Scott,

I am open to...

I live here, and the best place to buy one would be the main Yodobashi Camera store in Shinjuku, Tokyo. I am not sure if you are from the US or not, but currently the when is rather weak against the...

Actually, while this is usually true, I have seen a quite a few 45As with a rotating back. I am not sure if it was an optional item or Toyo just installed them for a while as a normal accessory.
