From "rail" to field"...............

Get a field camera first, and then decide if you want to sell the monorail.

Having both at your disposal is an attractive option.

I use the 120SW on my Canham 5x7 Wood field which uses Canham 4.3 or Toyo lens boards. It's a tight fit to get the round peg in the square hole, but it definitely fits, and it is one of my favorite lenses to use with 5x7 and 8x10! I backpack with the Canham and the 120 all the time with usually 3 other lenses with no problem.

I am always lusting for a compact and easily backpackable field camera, but I wouldn't sell my Sinar Norma in any case. It is just so nice and absolutely natural to work with..

looks like it will turn out that way anyway------there is no interest in my HorsemanLE rail....a little while back I advertised both here and APUG and, nothing.

I was wondering from the Toyo enthusiasts out there............what are the differences between the 45A and the newer 45AX?

I'm watching for a decent Sinar, they seem to be going cheap on the bay. I still have a ton of accessories for one, just never got around to selling them.

I used to have a Deardorff V-5, as well as a V-8. A V-11 too, but still have that one. But my desire for a more rigid metal folder led me, over time, to a Linhof MT. Wow, no comparison.....I just love the rigidity and of course the vast amount of accessories. Then I stumbled on one of the older Kardan Color 4x5s (not sure exactly which model without getting it out) for a song. So I have, in 4x5, both the metal folder Master Technika and a Linhof monorail that shares many of the accessories (like the 4 way reflex viewer in particular). I am well pleased with this combination. In 8x10 I have a Toyo 8x10 M II... love it! So, rigidity is my preference and the mentioned Linhof and Toyo models fit the bill quite well.
No regrets in my choices--ever!

Over here, we use a "," as decimal point and "." before every three numbers. Maybe a mistake there?

Maybe his wife told him to sell it, "Honey, I tried to sell the Toyo but no one wanted to buy it!".
