Camera shake - Toyo vs Wista metal field cameras?

[John Rodriguez]

Yeah, 180 is fine on my 45cf, but the 250 is another story.

I owned an Wista and have played with the Toyos, I think they are pretty similar in quality and rigidity. The bellows is kind of short on both but with the Wista you can fold it up with a small Copal 0 lens (like a 135 or 150) attached, which I found invaluable for packing. I also think the fresnel is nicer on the Wista metal VX-SP series.

Martin,

Thanks for upgrading my data file on the 45A. Glad to hear it works with 75 and shorter.

I may have to get another one some day...it sure is a nice camera.
