Hello. I'm a semi-retired Architect who has played with Nikons for the last umpteen years. I've always been aware of LF but never got off dead-center until I picked up a decent used TOYO 45G for an obscenely low price at an auction. It's missing a few items (lens & board primarily) but I'm actively searching for deals on essentials.
Welcome. Where are you from?
Welcome to the slippery slope. And, to the forums?
Welcome aboard!

Thank you all. I'm from New Stanton, PA but spent 30+ years in Buffalo. So Hello! Hamilton.
Welcome to the forum.
Although a wee bit on the heavy side, you have a very good camera system. If you don't already have one, you'll need a bag bellows . . . especially for architectural photography.
This forum will be a good resource as you make your way into LF. Have Fun.
Welcome to the forum, Karl!
Since you are a Nikon fan, there are some great sharp and contrasty Nikkor large format lenses available to use on your Toyo!

Thank you all for the warm reception.
Is there a way around the 1-month wait to get to the Buy/sell forum?
I'm looking for missing pieces of the TOYO-View sdo I can get started.

No no way to access the FS WTB forum until a member for 30 days and we have good reason for this rule. All that said the guy who would probably supply or locate a Toyo bit would probably be B.S Kumar (a long time member/sells here & Photrio) and he has a photo gear business out of Japan and you can PM him for his email address unless it's in his personal page found here. https://www.largeformatphotography.i...1796-B-S-KumarOriginally Posted by _Karl
BTW Welcome to the club Karl & look forward to your future contributions to the forum.

Karl, welcome to the website. I am also a professional architect - and practice in Washington State. As John says above a bag bellows for wide angle lens use is very useful for architectural photography. I have been able to find various parts for my cameras on: craigslist, e-bay, various stores that sell used cameras and parts. I buy lens boards every time I get a new lens.
