mmm .. I'd be tempted to buy a back and adapt it to that view camera.  That's my next adventure ... putting my p45 back on a  view camera.

Perhaps the back from the Hasselblad can also be adapted to the toyo, so you could still try it.  I shoot a Hasselblad with my back, and have been pretty happy with the camera system.  I think the Phase backs are a little better ... but that's probably just because I've dropped so much $$$ into mine.  I'm sure the Imacon technology of the Hasselblad backs is very good.   I have heard the Phase backs are better for long exposures  ( > 2 minutes), so you might want to research that if you do any of that type of work.

Have fun!

With regard to using Phase One backs on cameras with movements (technical cameras, view cameras...) one should consider the differences between those backs whose sensors have micro-lenses and those which don't. The Phase P45+ and P25+ (and the same non-plus models) do not have micro-lenses so that one won't be burdened by color shift when shooting using movements. The P30+ has the micro-lenses, so would require shooting an opal glass frame with each exposure so that shift could be removed in post. Others certainly know more about the specifics here, but I mention this as a heads-up. I'm looking forward to shooting my P1 back on a technical camera at some point, so chose one without micro-lenses.

I don't know if the Hasselblad sensor employs mirco-lenses or not, but it would be useful to know if considering a back for use in that way.
