Toyo
Field 45AX Pro Field Camera
The 45AX camera body is identical to the classic
Toyo Field 45AII, and is equipped with a standard,
reversible 4x5 Graflok back in place of the 45AII's
deluxe revolving back, to economize on weight and
cost. Weighing less than 6 lbs., the Toyo Field 45AX
offers all metal construction, full featured
movements, and portable, light weight, yet rugged
design that are the hallmarks of Toyo Field cameras.
For the professional and serious enthusiast, the
45AX represents the best value in a versatile and
compact technical 4x5 field camera.

In addition, the 45AX reversible back can be
interchanged with any Toyo deluxe revolving back for
added convenience at any time. For bright viewing,
ease of composition, and accurate focusing, the 45AX
reversible back comes equipped with Toyo's own
acid-etched ground glass. It reveals translucent
centimeter grid lines and discreet reference
markings for 6x7cm and 6x9cm roll film formats. This
permits critical composition and freedom from
distracting black lines common on most 4x5 screens.
The grids and markings even simplify composition
with creative 6x12cm panoramic format. The 45AX
reversible back also includes a precision
factory-installed Toyo Super-Brite Fresnel Lens in
front of the ground glass.
The 45AX offers creative image control ideal for
field use, as well as many studio applications. The
front standard offers rise, swing, tilt and shift.
The rear offers tilt and swing. With these controls,
correction of distortion, adjustment of depth of
field, and manipulation of selective focus are all
possible.
The Toyo Field 45AX features versatile tapered
normal/wide angle bellows, drop bed and double
extension construction for use with lenses from 47mm
super-wide to 360mm telephoto, and optional
extension backs for macro and longer lenses. |
