hello, am looking at various large format cameras. I used a toyo c when I went to university and it seemed to fit the bill (but so will others). I would like to know which film holders and lens boards are interchangeable with which cameras? Is there a faq or site with such info? A book???? thanks in advance 4x5 film holders will work on any 4x5 camera. The design hasn't changed much in 60 years. Once, I refurbished an old 5x7 wooden bed type camera with a 4x5 reducing back from the 1940s. Modern holders worked just fine in it. Lensboards, on the other hand, are usually unique for each camera manufacturer, and will not work on another manufacturer's camera. There are exceptions, but it is extremely rare. (I used Horseman boards on the original Sinar f. No problem.) Although, certain lightweight field cameras may take another manufacturer's lensboard as its standard one, but that will be noted in the specs. There used to be a extensive web site on large format cameras, both modern and vintage, that was very comprehensive, but I no longer have the URL. Just do a little Google-ing. If it's still up, you'll find it. Stef |
