Just put in a stink bid on Evilbay and got a nice condition Toyo 45D for $90. Can anybody tell me anything about this camera? Wasn't planning on a 45D but I won it anyway. Not one I've heard much talk about.
I now have my original Linhof Color Kardan, a spare body with bellows, a Burke and James Orbit, and now the 45D. I'm still holding out for a Toyo Robos and a Horseman L45, but at these prices, I can add (and have added) 4x5 cameras to my collection. I got so much good advice from you guys about what camera to buy after my Kardan, that I've taken all of it, hehe. Hopelessly hooked. I have 5 lenses and they don't care what camera they're on! :rolleyes:
Here's a recent shot taken with my Linhof, 150mm Zeiss f4.5 Tessar, HP5 in HC110 1:63, 1/100 at f8. Telechick Creek, British Columbia near Prince George.
