Toyo-View 4x5 45CX Wide Angle Bellows #10921

Toyo-View 45CX Wide Angle Bellows (Boxed)

This bellows is like new. Please see the listing's gallery images.

Of the Toyo-View series of 4x5 large format view cameras, the 45CX model is most unique, in that it has a front standard that is much smaller than the front standard.  Being that this is the only model that uses this size, this bellows tends to be rather hard to find, especially in this condition.

Upon PayPal payment, within 12 hours of the auction's end, your leather Toyo-View 45CX 4x5 View Camera Balloon Bellows and Manufacturer's Box will ship worldwide, by way of USPS First Class or Priority Mail.

I have other photographic listings here!

Toyo-View Lens Board with 70mm Hole for 45G 810G 810M


Toyo-View Flat Lens Board with 70mm Hole


Toyo-View Flat Lens Board with 70mm Rough Cut Hole

I believe this title says it all, but for those that may be new to Large Format Photography or the Toyo-View System, I will tell you more.

Firstly, this lens board fits the front standard all of practically all of the Toyo-View view cameras, except for the special Toyo-View 45CX.  This long list of compatible cameras also includes, most, if not all of the Omega-View cameras, which were made by Toyo.  And yes, the Toyo-View 8x10 Field Camera or 810M/810MII is included in the list.

The reason that the hole size is not a standard Copal number, such as #0, #1 or #3 is because you will encounter lenses that have other types of shutters as well as Barrel lenses, which typically do not have shutters.  These Barrel lenses typically have a flange nut which allows the lens housing to be screwed in.  The flange is then secured to the lens board, usually via screws in the circumference of the flange.

As you can see, this lens board has not yet been drilled for the flange screws, which is highly desired so that you may drill as needed, and not have to worry about filling holes that your flange did not need.  

Feel free to message me should you have any questions about this lens board of LF in general.

Your Toyo-View Lens board will be shipped via USPS First Class or Priority Mail, worldwide. Payment should be rendered within 12 hours of the auction's end.

Thank you for looking.

Hex Rod for SINAR Bellows Clip Lens Compendium or Ground Glass Focus Hood


SINAR Hex Rod (6.75 in.)for Bellows Holder Clip


Aftermarket Hex Rod for SINAR Bellows Holder Clip 6 3/4 inches

I recently acquired a lot of rods, as I needed shorter lengths than the SINAR branded ones. 

Though this is an aftermarket, it is actually as good, if not better than the usual SINAR branded rods.

The primary difference is that these are made from a steel alloy known as Protanium. Though heavier than the aluminum SINAR rods, these are much more rigid.

The length is 6-3/4 inches or approximately 172mm

The Bondhus Hex Rod will be shipped via USPS First Class or Priority Mail, worldwide, on the same day or on the first business day following your payment.  Payment is expected to be rendered within 12 hours of the auction's end.  If this is not possible then please manage my expectations by sending a message with your payment intentions.

Thanks for looking!

Toyo View 4X5 Lens Board Adapter For Horseman 80mm Lens Boards



Toyo-View 4x5 Horseman 80mm Lens Board Adapter

Toyo View Camera Adapter Allows Horseman 80mm x 80mm Lens Boards

This lens board adapter fits the front standard most Toyo-View 4x5, 5x7 and 8x10 Cameras, including the 45G, 57G, 810M and 810G as well as most Omega-View 4x5 Cameras, if not all.

It allows you to use the Horseman Medium Format Lens Boards, which are 80mm square. The circular hole has a diameter of 65mm.

Having such an adapter brings flexibility to your kit, allowing you to use various lenses from your Horseman kit or to simply be able to employ the smaller lens board.  It is much easier to pack an 80mm board per lens than multiple 158mm boards.  Also, there are a few Horseman made exotic boards, like the Copal/Compur #1 Top Hat.

I am pretty sure that this adapter was custom or home made, however, the craftsmanship is quite acceptable.  More images coming soon...

Your lens board adapter will be shipped via USPS First Class or Priority Mail, worldwide. Payment should be rendered within 12 hours of the auction's end.

Toyo View Adapter for Graflex Graphic 2x3 Lens Boards


Toyo/Omega View Graphic 2x3 Adapter

Toyo/Omega View Adapter Allows Graflex Graphic Century 2x3 Lens Boards

This lens board adapter fits the front standard most Toyo-View 4x5, 5x7 and 8x10 Cameras, including the 45G, 57G, 810G and 810M, as well as most Omega-View 4x5 Cameras, if not all.

It allows you to use the "Baby" Graphic or Century Graphic Lens Boards, which are 2.5 inches square, stamped aluminum.

Having such an adapter brings flexibility to your kit, allowing you to use various lenses like the Graphic series of lenses, which tend to be in shutters, that to not have the same dimensions as the more common Copal and Compur sizes.  For instance, I used the Graphic 2x3 lens board to mount my cine C-mount lenses.

I am pretty sure that this adapter was custom made, however, the craftsman was quite handy.  There are minor scratches but cosmetically the board is in excellent condition there is one small dent in the lower right-hand side of the 2x3 section.  This should be visible in the last Gallery Image.

Feel free to request more images or ask any questions.

Your lens board adapter will be shipped via USPS First Class or Priority Mail, worldwide. Payment should be rendered within 12 hours of the auction's end.
