Arca 110mm & Toyo 110mm Lensboard Interchangeable?

[Andre Noble]

Will the Toyo 110mm field lensboard fit onto a 110mm size Arca camera standard such as the Arca 6x9 F line cameras (or more importantly to me, onto the Arca 110mm field-to-Arca 171mm adapter board? - in lieu of the Arca 110mm board itself).

I'm trying to see if my Toyo 110 mounted lenses will already fit on the pre-made Arca Swiss 110 to 171 adapter board without having to have a custom made Toyo to Arca 110mm to 171mm board done up by someone like S.K. Grimes.

Can't speak for the 110-171 adapter, but Toyo boards won't fit on an Arca 110 standard. Arca boards have rounded corners and so does the recess in the standard... so it depends on the construction of the adapter, but I would guess that they won't fit that either.

Thanks Glen.

I just checked, and the Toyo boards (and Canham, too) do NOT fit the ARCA-SWISS 171mm - 110mm adapter. In an ideal world, all 110mm board would be interchangeable. In the real world, they are not. I addition to the rounded corners Glenn mentioned, the dimensions of the Toyo light trap are different than the ARCA-SWISS 110mm boards.

Well that's the end of that. Thanks.
