The new large format cameras have arrived in the Digital Imaging lab and will be available through the OBR soon. Accreditation is required for each camera and prior large format experience is necessary.
The Toyo 45Aâ…¡ is a 4X5 field camera that is ideal for travel or working outside the studio. It is small and compact and the kit comes with wide and normal lenses and everything necessary for working with the camera, minus the film. A carbon fibre Manfrotto tripod is available for booking with the field camera kit.
The Toyo 810Mâ…¡ is an 8X10 field camera. It is significantly heavier than the 4X5 field camera, but still suitable for working in the field as well as a studio. The 8X10 kit contains all needed accessories and a heavy duty Gitzo tripod is available for this kit. We will also be offering 8X10 film for users to purchase by the sheet.
