Re: Toyo Camera Help!!??
The Toyo focusing hood is essentially a 6 inch rubber 4-sided cone with a magnifying lens on the far end. It completely covers the groundglass and is light-tight but swings out of the way when needed. It is nothing like the standard folding focusing hood.

Re: Toyo Camera Help!!??
I use the 45AII and I really do like the revolving back. However, if changing the orientation does not take much longer, I can also see how it would be fine without it. I usually end up revolving it quite often. I'll check to see how the composition will differe with horizontal vs. vertical. It's nice just to experiment sometimes, and it is fast at that.

Re: Toyo Camera Help!!??
I have the AX and the back is easy to rotate to switch orientation. However, it is possible to drop it - cold hands, in a hurry, in the dark, etc. I have never had a problem and did not want to spend the extra money for the revolving but I can see the value for some situations.
