Title: Toyo VX23D
Post by: JonathanBenoit on April 04, 2010, 07:25:35 pm

Is anyone using this?
It's pricing is attractive and it is very light.
Are there any limitations with wide angle lenses such as the schneider 35 digitar?

I've always been intrigued by that camera. It is competitively priced. Talk to Michael Ulsaker at Ulsaker Studio. He might have one to sell. He'd know about wide angle lenses and which ones are compatable with the camera. You can find the phone number by going to ulsaker.com

And just as an aside, KaptureGroup now makes a sliding back ($1,995) for the Toyo VX23D, which is good to know since the Toyo Sliding Back is one of the most expensive available ($3,900), more than Linhof, Arca, and close to Sinar pricing.
