Toyo-View 45CX 4x5 Large Format View camera with Rodenstock 150mm f6.3 Lens

Toyo-View 45CX Large Format View Camera

Here is a nice complete kit to get one started in Large Format Film Photography. All that is needed is a tripod (not included,) film holders (not included,) and 4x5 film(not included.)  The Toyo-View 45CX can be considered as an entry level large format view camera offering from Toyo, however because of its light weight, in comparison to other Toyo-View Cameras, the 45CX makes a great accessory camera to an existing Toyo-View System.

This Toyo-View 45CX 4x5 Film Camera is in excellent shape, showing almost no signs of usage. The slightest of issues is that there is some wrinkling in the bellows. Please see the top of the bellows in the 6th image, towards the front. Also there is wrinkling that occurred on one of the sides, but it is difficult to see in the images.

The included lens is in near perfect conditions as well.  Having no lens caps, a light cleaning may be in order.  Also included is the original box and instruction sheet, as well as a great book from Kodak "Large-Format Photography."

So here is the break down by part of what you will receive

Toyo-View 45CX Front Standard
Toyo-View 45CX Rear Standard
Toyo-View 4x5 Rotating Ground Glass Back Assembly
Toyo-View 45CX Tapered Bellows
Toyo View 250mm Basic Rail 450mm

SINAR Wide Angle Bellows 1 - 4x5 Bag Bellows for SINAR System or Horseman view cameras

SINAR System 4x5 Wide Angle Bellows

If you don't have this bellows for your SINAR System then just click the "Buy It Now" button, and your short focal length problems will be resolved in about 3 days.

Wide angle bellows allow you to move your standards closer together as well as allow movements when the typical pleated bellows are too restrictive.  SINAR recommends using wide angle bellows when using lenses that are between 75mm and 135mm, however I never remove mine, as I always need extended shift or rise. Then when I need more extension, that is at about 180mm or so, I add a second wide angle bellows, just so that my flexibility remains.

This listing is for the SINAR System Wide Angle Bellows 1, which has attaching frames that are both, 140mm x 140mm

An alternative usage is using the bellows as a lens hood or as a focusing hood, but a few other parts may be needed for convenience.  Also this bellows will work on your Horseman L Series View Camera.

This bellows is in excellent used condition has been tested in my living room studio.

Your SINAR 4x5 Wide Angle Bellows 1 will ship same day or within one business day of receiving your PayPal payment, via USPS First Class Mail, worldwide.  Payment shall be rendered within 12 hours of the listing's end.  

Please feel free to send a message, if this time frame can not be met or should you have any questions.

Thank you for looking!

Mamiya Duophoto Adapter for Universal Press or Polaroid 600SE Professional Rangefinder Cameras ~ Rare

Mamiya Duophoto Adapter
for Mamiya Press Professional Rangefinder Cameras
or Polaroid 600SE Professional Rangefinder Cameras with 127mm Lens


I had planned to have a lot of fun with this complete Duophoto Adapter set, but too little time.  The Duophoto adapter attaches to the 127mm lens, like a lens cap.  You compose your image by using the viewfinder peephole on top of the adapter.  The unit is designed to be used with a Polaroid back using 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 Instant film, however, nothing prohibits you from using any film back.  Upon taking the picture, you will have an image containing two images, side by side, of what you saw in the viewfinder.

Included in this listing is

  • Duophoto Adapter
  • Front Cap
  • Tethered Viewfinder Cap
  • Border Mask for your Polaroid Film Back
  • Instruction Manual
  • Box and Styrofoam
  • My Photographic Blessings
The viewfinder view looks absolutely amazing. Seeing this alone almost made me reconsider letting it go.  The slightest issue that I see are small specs on the main glass panel.  See the images below as I got in close to show this.  Also it looks like someone tried cleaning this and left streaks around the edges.  Based on how lenses work, I doubt this will affect the image, but I have not tested the unit.  Based on the screws around the edges, it looks like the unit can be easily disassembled so that the glass could be properly cleaned.  Worse case scenario, one could simply remove the glass, as it appears only to be a dust protection mechanism, but don't quote me on this.  I am hoping that the glass can be easily cleaned.

Your Mamiya Duophoto Adapter will be shipped via USPS Priority Mail, worldwide and will ship within 1 business day, of your PayPal payment.  Payment is expected to be rendered within 12 hours of the listing's end.

Thank you for looking and please feel free to message me should you have any questions.
