Graflex Pre Anniversary Speed Graphic - 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 Camera


Photo thanks to [email protected]

This camera design was made in three formats - 3 1/4" x 4 1/4" (1935-9), 4x5" (1928-39), and 5x7" (1932-41), with the larger formats commanding higher prices, starting at $150+ for the 4x5" variant. The earlier models had a folding optical finder (see top left of photo), while the later models had a tubular (fixed) finder. Note also the wire frame sportfinder which is hinged to mount vertically. The handle is on the side (right side of photo above). The larger bellows and lens board enabled this model to take larger lenses and shutters. The bed is wooden, with a single focus knob (see photo).
