  4. Re: How are the new line of architectural cameras going to influence your work?

    Bob,
    Explain the Wista body that accepts the DSLR, 35mm, and MF cameras and view camera lenses please. Where can I see one of these? The Wista site doesn't show it unless I missed it. Can you...
  5. Re: How are the new line of architectural cameras going to influence your work?

    Thank you very much everyone. Your answers were all right on target and covered the subject well. You have answered all my questions. Any further discussion is of course welcome.
  6. How are the new line of architectural cameras going to influence your work?

  7. Re: New to LF, need help picking a camera

  8. Master Technika flap with WA lenses!

  9. Re: Architecture field camera, what woulb you recommend ?

    Thought I might put in my two cents even though I'm a bit late on this thread:
    The Toyo cameras are underrated in my estimate and the 125VX would be an ideal choice even if a bit expensive. I've...

  13. Re: Longer Lenses on a Toyo VX-125 Camera?

    I own a Toyo G and have looked seriously at the VX 125. To use longer lenses you must have a longer bellows and add the extension rails. The extension rails come in 150mm(rare) and 250mm...
