    Wauv thats some statement, would you like to elaborate as to why the Toyo is so much better. Any detailed pro/cons? I am asking beccause I'm thinking 4X5" field camera too and figured the Chamonix would be a great buy but if ...........

    Claus,
    for a lifetime investment stay with the Toyo. I use both AII and the CF (the CF for backpacking).
    But the Chamonix has some advantages, as mentioned herein.

    Hi ,I have a Chamonix 4x5 love It!! , Although have never shot with the Toyo , Depends what your bottom line budget is, but the lens and holders etc plus maybe some negotiation factor may make the Toyo a good buy for your first kit , Good luck with whatever you choose. Regards gary

    I've owned both, and I prefer the Toyo. Toyo field cameras are rugged, fold into a box, stable, and quick to use, with each of the qualities being a little better than the Chamonix. The Chamonix is lighter. Both are very nice 4x5 choices.
