I recently acquired a Toyo VX 125B LF camera. I want to use the smaller lens boards than the 6x6" ones that attach directly to the camera. I would appreciate information about what is the specific model number for the adapter that fits the 125B and then specifically what smaller lens boards fit into the adapter by model # and name, if other manufacturer's boards will work beside Toyo. Also, would like to know if you have any leads as to someone looking to sell these. Thanks for any help you can render. Joe

Here's the manufacturer's website of accessories for your camera: VX 125B Accessories (http://www.toyoview.com/Products/Accessories/VX125ac.html)
Your camera uses a 158mm lens board.
If you want to use the Toyo 110mm lens boards, then the adapter you need is Model #180-631 or #180-632, which can be purchased at BH Photo Video:
180-631 (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/61102-REG/Toyo_View_180_631_Flat_Lensboard_Adapter_Toyo.html)
180-632 (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/61101-REG/Toyo_View_180_632_Recessed_Lensboard_Adapter_Toyo.html)
Next, the lens boards you'll need to fit this adapter are the ones that fit the 45A camera. They are 110mm and are Model #180-621, 180-622, & 180-640. These can be purchased at BH Photo Video as well:
180-621 (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/61095-REG/Toyo_View_180_621_Flat_Lensboard_for_0.html)
180-622 (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/61098-REG/Toyo_View_180_622_Flat_Lensboard_for_1.html)
180-640 (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/112206-REG/Toyo_View_180_640_Recessed_Lensboard_for_0.html)
Also note, Toyo makes several other adapters that will allow different lens boards to fit your camera. For example, Linholf, Sinar, or Graphic. The accessories page lists them all.
