Darlene, that is certainly an eye-opener. I am in a better position to understand why Americans are reluctant to ship overseas. All I can do is offer my condolences.

I agree with you about the cost of international shipping from the US and Europe, but as far as standing in line, etc is concerned, you might want to consider Click-N-Ship and Package Pickup:...
phdgent and Joseph Kashi,
Thank you for the kind words. "A world without borders" - I have much to say on this, but not here...
I had not intended my post to be a "personal" statement. It was...
I think this approach does not take into account:
1. Prices in Europe, even from private sellers, are generally higher than in Japan, and to a certain extent the US. Anyone who is selling...
Here are photos of the Toyo 5x7 I sold in 2017: https://photos.app.goo.gl/lriRB0rzIs2Xz6TB3
The back is the same as the 57D, but the fitting is for the Original Field 4 3/4" x 6 1/2" camera. It...
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 ROBOS was never sold in any format other than 4x5. But components are interchangeable, and one could have a ROBOS front standard and G rear standard.

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...

I don't have the photos any more, but I think I have a few of the slides somewhere.

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.

I've sold a number of these cameras and the associated 130mm lens units over the years. It does have limitations, but my customers have been using it for:

FYI, I sell brand new Toyo 4x5 film holders for 11,700 JPY per twin pack plus shipping.

Wait a couple of weeks (30 days for new members) and you'll be able to access the Buy/Sell forum on this site. You'll have a wide range of cameras, lenses and film holders from which to choose.

kunlun121, I am re-reading your first post.
You are speaking of the spacing with reference to the lens board, but are asking about the spacing of the lens cells with reference to the shutter.
...
A "Linhof" board can be a 2x3 Linhof Technika board like this:

I sent you a message.

Someone more technically inclined will correct me if I am wrong.
A Technika board can also be a Linhof Technika board, unless you mean the larger Kardan style boards.
The spacing between the...
The Toyo D45M used metal frames on to which the bellows were glued. Let me know if you want to buy them.
Kumar
Tin Can and Paul, thank you for the kind words.
However, in all humility, this is not about trust or belief. I've been selling photo equipment for about 9 years now, and I average 10 Wista cameras...
While the Toyo 45G is larger than the D45M, it is not impossible to carry it in a backpack. Here is a comparison photo of the Toyo D45M and a Wista 45D:...
Wista backs have two kinds of fittings. The one with the round fitting is for the N, VX and RF as shown in the OP's first post.
The other squarish one is for the D and SP:

John, I can offer you Linhof Technika type Copal 1 lens boards with 15, 20, 25 or 35mm top hat extensions. Sorry, no 30mm extension.

For many years, the Fujinon SF 250mm lens was the only lens available in the #3S shutter, even though all the other large Fuji lenses were mounted in #3 shutters. The very last 250mm SF lenses were...
Leave the knobs on the intermediate standard slightly loose so that they can move when pressure is applied eg when tilts and swings are used. Lock them firmly when you finalize your composition.

Toyo standards are very strong, and I don't think you'll face any problem. It would be better to mount heavy lenses on regular Toyo boards, not on adapter boards.
You don't need to modify the...
Those same levers are present on #3 shutters. I didn't understand what Drew meant by the extra lever on his Copal 3S shutter.
Kumar
If the OP wants to use a digital back on the 4x5 camera, the Sinar F2 wouldn't be my first choice. A Sinar X or P2 would be better. The X doesn't have the annoying zero detent on the shift and rise...
Can you explain about the extra lever? I don't see anything extra on any of my 3S shutters.
Kumar
It's not Fuji who labeled these shutters, but Copal who actually made the shutters. The outer thread diameter of the Copal 3S shutter I'm selling measures 60.6mm. Perhaps my measurement technique...
For an 800mm extension, you definitely need a monorail camera.
Sinar, Toyo, Cambo all made intermediate standards, as I think others also may have. They're called "Intermediate Standards" -...
I sent you an email.
