    Here are photos of the Toyo 5x7 I sold in 2017: https://photos.app.goo.gl/lriRB0rzIs2Xz6TB3

    Re: Rittreck View 5x7 camera manual

    The OEM 5x7 back did exist. I sold one in 2017, with an equally rare Linhof Technika lens panel. I sold another in 2018 with the usual Speed Graphic panel. The back was the same as the Toyo 57G.

    Toyo G, GII, GX and Robos standards are interchangeable in that they can be used with the same rails, bellows and backs. However, the U frame is attached to the rail clamp, and cannot be separated...

    The Fujinon SWD 90mm f5.6 lens is an excellent lens, but on a Linhof Master Technika it is probably overkill. The image circle is 236mm, much larger than needed for the 4x5 format. You'll also need...

    Re: 4x5 camera identification

    It looks very similar to the Bossy View Camera made by Yayoi Seiko. There were a few variations in the knobs, etc, but the basic design was consistent.
