I find myself the owner of a Toyo view 4x5 camera, although I only intended to buy the Sironar lenses it came with to use with a Crown Graphic. The owner just wanted to clear out all his 4x5 stuff, so I got the camera, two Rodenstock lenses, a tripod and a bunch of 4x5 developing accessories. Anyway, I'm not sure which model I have. It's a 4x5 mono-rail, off-white in colour, and the standards are metal. The tilts are from the lens centre and most movements seem to have both a lock knob and a geared adjustment. The exception seems to be the shift/swings which are not geared and seem to be a single combined control. The back is revolving. There are slide locks on both sides of both standards, so the bellows can be swapped out. I find the info on the toyo site a bit confusing and would appreciate if someone can confirm which model it is, and whether it's a current model or discontinued. Here are a few photos too.
