Toyo-View VX125
Studio/Field Camera
 .
Every large format studio photographer will love the
precision, extensive movement, and great versatility
the Toyo VX125 delivers in the field. Every field
camera enthusiast will appreciate the extra movement
with wide angle lenses, greater precision, complete
range of modular accessories and the ability to use
long telephotos - all in a very portable and stable
camera.
The original VX125 in jade green metallic finish
merges the rock solid stability, full movement
capability, geared precision and system
compatibility of a modular monorail studio
camera...with the compactness, ultra-light weight
and total portability of a true 4x5 field camera.
Its robust, unique 39mm diameter monorail telescopes
from 250mm down to 125mm (10" to 5") bringing it to
a compact 12x9x5", small enough to fit into a
briefcase or backpack.
The telescoping VX monorail locks in three positions
and also features a handy quick release mounting
plate for fast and secure tripod mounting and
dismounting in the field. For unlimited extension,
all Toyo G/GX monorails, mounting blocks, bellows
and intermediate standards can be used with the
compact VX125 frames, because the VX125 is part of
the Toyo modular system.
The VX125's 360° revolving back can be locked into
any position for unrestricted and fast composition,
unlike common revolving backs that lock only
vertically or horizontally. Its brilliant
acid-etched ground glass and built-in Toyo Super-Brite
fresnel lens give clear, unrestricted viewing with
even corner-to-corner illumination without
old-fashioned, black grid lines, disturbing cut
corners or fresnel lens frames blocking the full 4x5
area. The graflock-type back accepts Polaroid
holders, roll film holders and even 6x12cm panoramic
backs. Folding, monocular and reflex focusing hood
accessories from the Toyo modular G system readily
fit the VX125 back. Unlike wooden cameras, the
VX125's all-metal revolving back provides a precise
film plane and protects the camera interior from the
elements when in the field. It also eliminates the
chance of accidentally dropping a reversible back
when shifting from vertical to horizontal.
The interchangeable VX Ultra-Flex bellows supplied
with the VX125 and VX125R will accommodate lenses
from super wide 45mm to 400mm telephoto. It uses a
urethane Ultra-Flex material, providing complete
flexibility needed for full movement with wide angle
lenses. Optional bellows and monorails will allow
use of any focal length lens or any magnification. |
