Toyo field 45aii review.
Because the camera is folding type you get forward tilt as much as the bellows gives space.
Swings sideways as well as the back tilt are very restricted only a few degrees.
Itperforms with the precision and convenience of a refined.
Weighing a mere 6 1 lbs and folding to a compact 4 2 x 7 4 x 8 2 it combines modern alloy durability with classic design.
There are rear swings and tilts but no shifts.
Toyo the leader in field and rail large format cameras designed the new 45cf field camera based on classic design elements from proven workhorse cameras such as the legendary speed crown graphic and toyo 45aii and ax series.
The toyo field 45aii offers the best of possibilities with exceptional valuein a full featured portable ruggged and lightweight 4x5 technical fieldcamera.
The use of a field camera lends itself to a different mindset from that of a digital slr.
I tote my toyo 45aii around in a backpack along with lenses filters focusing cloth ground glass magnifier and film holders.
I absolutely think its worth the extra cash to get the revolving back as its so quick and easy compared to the non revolving back.
When every ounce counts the 45cf is the perfect choice for on location 4x5 shooting.
Its important to note that toyo makes 2 versions of this field camera.
Technically 90 degrees.
The former requires time and contemplation while the later offers convenience and speed.
The 45a and 45aii.
The toyo field 45aii offers the best of possibilities with exceptional valuein a full featured portable ruggged and lightweight 4x5 technical fieldcamera.
