Toni45 Mk.3D

Toni45 Mk.3D is a 3D printed large format camera.

Toni

mean our company name.

45

mean the camera's shooting format is 4 inch X 5 inch (4x5).

Mk.3

mean the camera is mark 3 of Toni45. Tony had made Mk.1 and Mk.2 before of it and they are mainly made by wood.

3D

mean it is used 3D Printing to print most of the parts.

Feature

Change Lens Camera

Toni45 Mk.3D is a change lens camera. It will be fit for standard Linhof lensboard.

Basic Operations

Many people first time to use these functions as a "effect" in digital. Like tilt function, it will let the building, landscape shoot like toys. Most of it included these "effect" in some digital camera and smart phone.

The people may not know these functions are the classic and original technique in large format camera. Toni45 Mk.3D also can be handle these. There are some details of those useful functions as below.

Shift

Shift - the movement of the horizontal by lens which is keeping perpendicular to film.

Rise and Fall

Rise and Fall - the movement of upward and downward. Most for shooting building, cityspace, etc. It can be use for correct the vertical line of the object (e.g. building).

Swing

Swing - the rotation of the lens to left or right. But it is not keeping perpendicular to film.

Tilt

Tilt - to make the rotation of the lens to upward or downward. Famous for shooting the building, landspace like toys. It can be make a incredible depth of field or correct the depth of field to fit the object (e.g. product shot).

Focusing

For large format camera, most of them are moving the front group to make foucsing. For different lenses with different focal length, it also need a different distance of the lens which if fit for foucs to infinity. After change the lens, we also need to re-focusing for the suitable distance.

Quick Focus

We designed two bottons for qucik focusing. Toni45 Mk.3D use the middle main screw to control the front group moving. But this action is too slow to make the full focusing. For this time we can pull out the buttons together to unlock the front group. After unlocked the front group, user can shift it dynamically whatever you want. If you see the object is in or around in focus on the focus plane. You can put your hand out of the buttons and those were lock it back. After the fast focusing, user can rotate the main screw to make a fine tuning of the front group. These actions will more quick to finish the focusing of the large format camera.

Back

Toni45 Mk.3D is a 4x5 film camera with standard parts. It should be support standard 4x5 film holder.

Rotate back

It will be more easier to rotate the back to make the vertical or horizontal composition.

More Feature

Toni45 Mk.3D is a 3D printed camera. For future, we can design the parts to support more.
