Hello is there anyone currently using, or has anyone ever used, a binocular reflex viewer with a Toyo 45CF model?

I am considering purchasing a Toyo 45CF model, for it's light weight, but the possibility of using a binocular reflex viewer for ease of composition and viewing is a deal breaker for me.

Thank you so much to everyone for the help !

p.s. Please let us not get in a discussion as whether it this camera is the right choice for me, or if I really need to use a binocular reflex viewer or not.

Yes, there is. I sold one a few months ago: http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/showthread.php?138374-FS-Horseman-Toyo-Folding-Binocular-Reflex-Viewer

They also made a rigid version.

I like the Toyo monocular viewer in which you see the image on the ground glass upside down as if under a dark cloth, but you view straight on to the subject rather than down into a reflex mirror. If you want to view with both eyes, Horseman makes one that will also mount to the Toyo panel with a short bellows section. It is more expensive than the Toyo which can usually be found used in the $100 range.
