I own 20 view cameras (as an avid collector more than an passionate photographer) mainly Linhof, Plaubel, Sinar and Cambo, as well hundreds of accessories from the best German, Dutch, Swiss and Japanese brands. I am now aiming my crave towards Japanese viwcamera gear by recently buying a Tachihara Hope 5x7 field viewcamara and now just ordered a Toyo 45 GII complete kit with the aluminum case. As, according to the pictures I saw of this camera I just bought but not yet received, and of those found on the Internet, and the quality of Toyo various quick roll sliders And rollfilm holders I own, I am sure that the 45 GII and variants are superbly built, even better than some Linhof I have played with. only Sinar can top Toyo in build quality, especially the Norma (I don’t own a P or P2).
