This Toyo 45G was the top of the line Toyo camera of its generation, offering a highly modular system, fully articulated body with geared rise/fine focus movements and center detentes. This kit is essentially two cameras in one, with a 5X7 back along with a 4X5 reducing frame and back.
It is a highly capable and versatile monorail system.
INCLUDES:
Toyo 57G 4X5 monorail camera
4X5 reducing frame with 4X5 back with fresnel lens
Schneider Symmar S 210mm F5.6 MC (Caltar IIS)
4 used film holders (2 each 5X7 2 each 4X5)
Camera features and condition:
Camera is in good used condition, with some very light signs of normal use
Bubble levels are present and functional
Fully articulated movements front and back
Geared movements - rise/fall, fine focus
Positive center detentes throughout
All knobs lock tightly as they should, and all movements are good
5X7 back is equipped with the very rare fresnel lens, making work under the darkcloth much easier
5X7 back equipped with very rare pop up focus hood and bailer lever
4X5 rotating reducing back has original toyo fresnel and gridded glass, graflock spring back is tight and works as it should - easily mounted vertically or horizontally
Standard bellows has been very nicely patched up and is tested LIGHT TIGHT
Lens is in good used condition, glass is generally clean, shutter sounds good on all speeds
This 210mm lens is a "normal" angle of view on 5X7 and is a nice all around use lens (very useful on 4X5 as well)
Lens is SHARP
Holders are tested light tight
