Been browsing the Toho site and found some pretty interesting items there:

Let's you put 4x5 holders into 5x7/8x10 or 5x7 into standard 8x10 backs. Pretty neat.


Ready-made half cut-out darkslides for panoramics:

The "eccentric board" lets you move the lens without camera movements:

Interesting stuff...

Badger stocks the eccentric board; I am tempted, but at about $245 it's a bit out of my league.

Frank, that's pretty sedate as Japanese muzak goes. If you think that's bothersome, don't ever go shopping in one of the major Japanese camera/electronics chains like Bic or Yodobashi. You'll lose your mind in very short order.
