I accidentally won an auction for 2 Toyo Speed Graphics (and pleasantly surprised that I won) and was wondering if the cams are fully compatible with the Graflex Super Graphics.

Is there any lens/cam reference that would tell me the proper cam id# for a given lens? It looks like there are cams for almost any lens I'd use here ( http://www.graflex.org/speed-graphic/super-graphic-cams.html )
But I don't know where to get the proper info for matching a lens to the most correct cam.

Did Toyo make a finder for the hotshoe of this camera?

Bart,

If they are compatible (and as I understand it the Toyo is a Graflex Super Graphic in all but name), then the list of lens versus cam is on this site as you discovered.

There's a wealth of other information on all things graphic (graflex or other !) here too, and you might want to look at Rich S's scanned Super Graphic cams at http://www.southbristolviews.com too.
I can only offer a meager single cam scan so far, at: http://graphics.thehills.id.au/SuperGraphicCamP33Rick.pdf

Welcome to the Super graphic club !

NB: Don't get confused by cams for top mount rangefinders. They're different, and not compatible.

And look at places like this: http://www.schneideroptics.com/info/vintage_lens_data/large_format_lenses/index.htm for true lens focal lengths.
