Does anybody know about distributors of the Toho cameras in Germany (or at least Europe)?<b> I'm interested in the FC-45X... in Kerry's review of the camera, he mentions Rob ert White selling them, but I couldn't find any reference to Toho in the web sto re. In addition, I'd like to see the camera before shelling out the money, so I' d prefer a distributor within driving range...

Yes, there is a german shop! Check out the URL: www.plaubel.com You will see: Toyo is quiet expensive! Until 1998 the Brenner Fotostube in Weide n (www.alles-foto.de) sold this Toyo Cameras.
I think, the better way is: look for a used Linhof, Sinar or Plaubel - it is muc h easier to get any support.
Good luck!

Stefan,
Robert White no longer carries the Toho cameras or accessories. I'm not sure if there are any other European dealers. You might check the Toho web site:
http://www.toho-machine.co.jp
to see if they list any.

Stefan,
lets first end that BOLD </b> thing :-) :-)
TOYO is exoensive, visit that wellknown shop in Cologne (Koln) at the Neumarkt, four weeks ago I bought there a Linhof Technikardan S at a very competative price!

Meanwhile, I checked with ToHo (the H was no typo, contrary to the `b' instead o f `br' tag - sorry for the blaring :). Unfortunately, currently there seems to be no german or european distributor... after ready Kerry's review, that's a pit y!
Hi,
Sorry, i was in a hurry, therefore the typo's.....
Yep, I know that toHo and toYo are different brands.
Never ever seen a European distributor other than Robert White. But apparently he sells the Toho no longer.
Huib.

Stefan,
Even though Robert White no longer stocks the Toho, they might be willing to special order one for you. I've dealt with them on occasion (recently bought a Toho Eccentric Lens Panel on close-out) and they are VERY acommodating and eager to please. Ditto for Badger Graphic here in the US.
I agree it would be preferable to handle any LF camera before committing to a purchase. Unfortunately, that is not always possible.
