And to make matters even more confusing, I have a *Toko* wooden 4x5,
made in the '80s. It looks similar to the Wista DX, but is slightly
larger, with a greater range of movements and more bellows draw. It's
been out of commission for awhile, as the leatherette bellows had
developed dozens of pinhole cracks, but the replacement from Camera
Bellows in England (via John Adler at Lee Filters USA) should be here
next week. 

The lens is a Linhof convertible Symmar 210/370.
