The '''Toyo Field 45A''' is a folding field camera marketed as product of [[Omega View]] / Toyo Division by [[Berkey]] Marketing Companies in New York. The body is built in a metal box, with one side opening like a lid and containing the bed on which the front standard travels. It is double-extension, with a maximum bellows draw of about 320mm: some of this is achieved by the rear body extending backwards on two extending rods, while the front standard racks forward on rails set in a machined dovetail in the bed.
The camera allows front rise and fall, and tilt. The bed can be dropped to allow lenses as short as 45mm to be used (the bed is dropped to a lower angle, and tilt and rise used to correct the position of the lens, so that the front of the bed doesn't appear in the wide view of the lens). Dropping the bed also allows a large degree of front fall, though this movement is seldom wanted.

The 45A is the first in a series of similar models, including the Field 45AII and 45AX.
