I had one, it's great in the studio, that's where it shines, it can be taken out but is heavy. The 210 and 90 are great first lengths to obtain. I had Schneider lenses so I don't know about the lenses listed except what I have heard, all positive.

Hi dreamallen,

I still have one, it is one of the very best studio cameras made. I was VP of Burke & James, the importer of Toyo View Cameras and in about 1978 when I left the company, the list price was $1,250, the camera store price was about 850-950, the dealer price was about 750, and we bought them from Japan for about 560.

The lenses are probably worth more than the camera!

If it were mine I would ask at least $1,000, perhaps more.
