Toyo 45A 4x5 Camera w/Nikon Nikkor-W 150mm/5.6 Lens

The Toyo 45A 4x5 camera is one of my favorites, partly because of the rugged all-metal construction and I just like the way it feels and works. This one is in average condition, about the expected wear than what I typically see on a camera of this type and vintage. (I would rate it an 8.5 overall),it  has the reversing Graflok-style back, the bellows have been carefully checked and are light-tight.  

The lens is a Nikon Nikkor 150mm/5.6 lens, a 6-element/4-group Plasmat-type lens in a Copal #0 shutter, it takes 52mm filters and lens hoods, a common and inexpensive size, especially compared to larger-sized filters. 150mm is considered to be  the "normal" lens for 4x5 and is similar to a 50mm lens in 35mm. I would rate the lens at an 8.5, the glass is clear & clean, the shutter speeds sound accurate compared to other lenses I have, it just has normal wear & tear from being used.

Two clean film holders are included, as is a new cable release for the lens, a copy of the owner's manual and a new Gator brand bag that was originally made to fit a small sound mixer board but fits a 4x5 field camera nicely.

The Toyo Field 45A offers the best of possibilities with exceptional value in a full-featured, portable, rugged and lightweight 4x5 technical field camera. 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. It performs with the precision and convenience of a refined camera system for demanding pros as well as discriminating fine art photographers. Using handcraftsmanship, and over forty years of manufacturing expertise, Toyo achieves unparalleled precision and stability for rock-solid performance with the 45A. It offers a full range of camera movements, and unique features such as polymer coated parts for precision smoothness and Toyo's 360° revolving back. The 45A shares many versatile accessories with the complete line of Toyo modular studio monorail cameras.
