Toyo Field 45A 4×5 inch large-format field camera in very good condition, tested and working, with body, folding focusing hood, original ground glass and integrated focusing rail; lens is not included.
Description from the seller
(Description)
This is a beautifully preserved Toyo Field 45A, one of the most iconic and trusted large-format field cameras ever produced in Japan. Known for its precision engineering, rock-solid metal construction, and smooth movements, the 45A has long been a preferred tool for landscape, architectural and fine-art photographers.
The camera offered here is in excellent condition, showing only light cosmetic wear on metal edges from normal handling. The bellows are clean, supple, and free from visible pinholes. All movements—front rise/fall, shift, tilt, rear tilt, and focusing rail—operate smoothly. The ground glass is clear and the folding mechanism locks firmly.
A well-maintained, ready-to-use example with the elegant black finish that collectors and analog photographers value highly.
Carefully stored and handled with care.
