Description
Something a bit different for me; this is an image of my old Crown Graphic 4X5 press camera. My research on the serial number puts it at around a 1950 vintage. She’s fully functional, although I’ve only ever shot 4 frames with it to verify it worked after I inherited it from my mother. It would get shot a great deal more if I knew anyone with a darkroom. Aficionados of these old classics will notice that this one’s been modified with an adapter for a non-standard flash.

This is a beauty, Mike! I have a collection of the old Speed Graphlex cameras. My dad was a news photographer back in the 40s-60s and it was his camera of choice. Adding this to my favs cuz it is!!

My daily shooter. I have some grafmatic backs that make life easier. Why the PC terminal? Kodak Supermatic shutters should have a PC terminal already. There are also cables from two prong to PC

It was something the guy my mom bought it from did. I have no idea why and don't know enough about these things to even speculate. I've shot 4 frames with it just to make sure it worked back when my daughter had a darkroom class.
