According to Toyo's product web page
<http://www.toyoview.com/ProductInfo/ProductInfo.html> the 45GII and
45GX can be converted up to 5x7 or 8x10. As you might expect the two
8x10 models also note that they can be converted down to 5x7 or 4x6.
You call your camera the 45G as opposed to GII or GX. I don't know if
the same conversion capability pertains to your camera but suspect that
it might. I suggest you contact Toyo directly for assistance.
<http://www.toyoview.com/AskToyo/asktoyo.html> This link is really only
for US customers but I'm sure they will tell you where you can obtain
information outside the US.
They also offer instruction booklets for sale
<http://www.toyoview.com/AskToyo/toyo_orderbklts.html> which *may*
address the conversion capability. However, this link is US only and
they will not ship outside the US. But it can be seen from this list of
cameras that the 45G is an older model and no longer produced.
The web pages above belong to the Mamiya America Corporation which
apparently has no further ties with Mamiya. I don't know what the
relationship is with Toyo which (I assume) is still in Japan. Good
luck. If you need help getting something from the US perhaps a list
member can help. Good luck.
B&H camera in New York City sells Toyo cameras. Here is a listing of
all the new equipment they have for sale

and also the used equipment

I hope this helps,

I wish to try 8x10 since the 8x10 enlarger is made for printing. I search
internet and get some information that my Toyo 45G can be converted to 810G
by changing the rear frame, the focus component and the bellow (Please
correct me if I'm wrong). However, someone told me I have to change the
front frame as well since the center line of 8x10 is different 4x5. I have
found no more information about the front frame changing from 45G to 810G
from internet.
Since I have limited budget and don't want to hold one more camera. I hope
I may use my Toyo 45G converting to 8x10 and I may use it to take both 4x5
& 8x10 :p
Any list member may give some advices?
Thank you very much!!!!
Cheers,
Michael
