For Sale: Toyo 45A metal,flat-bed view camera with revolving back. This beautiful and rugged picture-taker is equipped with a
                  new bellows and the following;
- a Calumet 6x7 roll film holder for 120 and 220 film.     - a Polaroid 545 film back (older metal version and works perfectly).
- a Schneider 210mm f/6.1 Xenar lens and lensboard ( "normal" lens for 4x5 film size ) in excellent condition.
- a Rodenstock 135mm f/5.6 lens and lensboard in exc.+ to mint condition.
- between 6 and 12 sheet film holders (4x5 film). Not in photos.
135mm f/5.6 Apo Sironar  Rodenstock
Toyo 45A with 210 Xenar attached.
This camera shows minor wear and is in perfect working condition.
The bellows is new and professionally installed. The lenses are both
very sharp and multi-coated. The Rodenstock was purchased new by myself and the Schneider 210 was purchased with the camera in used but excellent condition.  

   Six of the twelve or so sheet film holders were purchased new by yours truly and remain in exc.+ condition. The 545 Polaroid film holder is the older all-metal type and completely functional ( and invaluable for proofing).
   The Calumet 6x7 roll film holder (accepting 120 or 220 roll film) was also purchased (very expensive) new by me and remains in exc.+ condition. An extra focal length lens is created with this format. The 210mm (60-70mm in 35 format) becomes, approximately, a 105mm lens in 35 format. 
   Numerous movements are inherent to this camera and the image circle of the lenses allow for generous back and front swings and tilts. Shift movements are confined to the front of the camera.
   All that's needed is a decent light meter ( I have one but would prefer to keep for myself) to take exceptionally detailed and stunning photographs. Definitely, a rock-solid tripod (mine is a Benbo #1) and ball head (my choice over pan-tilt heads) is also needed.

Selling Price for all: $2500.00 Can. (Paid $4000+ for all)

Note: If the Pentax 6x7 outfit sells before this outfit, I'll not sell this one (and vice versa).
