Toyo Question and Hi from Manchester, U.K.

[Mike V]

Hi guys,

I a photography student here in the U.k. I got into large format photography last year as part of a project. I am currently looking at buying my own Large Format camera and using it in a project for this year and next. As well as for my own enjoyment.

In the local shop in town there is a Toyo view camera, with a sironar 150mm lens. Does anyone have any info on whether this is a good set up?

My previous experience is with a Wista field camera another monorail. (forget the name)

Here are a couple of examples of my work:







Thanks for reading. Any info on the toyo and lens combination would be greatly received.
