Graflex Century Graphic

The Graflex Century Graphic is a 2x3 (6x9cm) press-style folding camera introduced by Graflex in the late 1940s. It uses a lightweight moulded body rather than the metal construction of the Pacemaker Speed and Crown Graphics, and was positioned as a more affordable medium-format field and press camera accepting sheet film holders and Graflex roll-film backs.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Century Graphic have ranged from around £90 to £290, with a median close to £175 across the sales on record. As of 2026, clean outfits with a working lens and a usable roll-film back tend to sell for more than bare bodies, and one earlier 2007 result at £400 shows how much condition and completeness influence what the camera is worth in the saleroom.
