About Toyo 45AX Pro 4x5

What sets the Toyo 45AX 4x5" Pro Large Format Field Camera apart is its unparalleled blend of durability, professional-grade features, and a sturdy, lightweight design that makes it a top choice for both professionals and serious photography enthusiasts. This camera maintains the classic aesthetic and functionality of the Toyo Field 45AII, while offering a more economical option through its standard, reversible 4x5 Graflok back, which replaces the deluxe revolving back of the 45AII to reduce both weight and cost.

Crafted for on-the-go photographers who don't want to compromise on quality, the Toyo Field 45AX weighs in at under 6 lbs. and boasts an all-metal construction that ensures reliability and longevity. Its full-featured movements and compact form factor underscore Toyo's commitment to producing field cameras that are both portable and rugged.

The 45AX is not just about value; it's about versatility. The reversible back is interchangeable with any Toyo deluxe revolving back, offering additional convenience whenever needed. The camera's ground glass is a testament to Toyo's attention to detail, featuring acid-etched grid lines and reference markings for multiple film formats, including 6x7cm, 6x9cm, and even 6x12cm panoramic shots. These subtle yet practical features aid in precise composition without the distraction of obtrusive lines found on standard 4x5 screens.

Enhancing the viewing experience, the 45AX comes equipped with Toyo's Super-Brite Fresnel Lens positioned in front of the ground glass, ensuring a bright, clear view for accurate focusing and composition. The camera's creative image control is perfectly suited for field work and various studio applications, thanks to its front standard that offers rise, swing, tilt, and shift, coupled with a rear standard that provides tilt and swing. These movements allow for meticulous correction of distortion, fine-tuning of depth of field, and mastery over selective focus.

The Toyo Field 45AX is designed to accommodate a wide range of lenses, from a 47mm superwide to a 360mm telephoto, thanks to its versatile tapered normal/wide-angle bellows, drop bed, and double extension construction. For those interested in macro photography or the use of even longer lenses, optional extension backs are available.

In summary, the Toyo 45AX 4x5" Pro Large Format Field Camera is a high-quality, professional, and reliable tool that offers exceptional image control and versatility, making it an essential instrument for photographers dedicated to capturing the world with precision and clarity.
