Focus control is micro fine geared with large rubber covered knobs. Shift, rise, tilt and swing movements with teflon coated parts deliver smooth operation and durability under all outdoor conditions. The 45AX's double extension bed and track are polymer coated for smooth, precise action and long-life, regardless of shooting conditions. The micro-fine rack and pinion focusing front bed provides silky smooth focusing, even with a heavy lens. The rear extension rides on two rails that can be easily adjusted to maintain a stable position for use with telephotos or long extensions.
Control knobs are all-metal with rubber covering for easy grip, with or without gloves.
Even a telephoto design 360mm can be focused to under ten feet for complete versatility in landscape work. The Toyo Field 45AX also features a full system of optional Toyo system accessories from recessed lens boards, lens board adapters, compendium lens hoods, and roll film backs to meet the needs of the most demanding outdoor photographer.
