What it is
{"overview":"The Graflex Crown Graphic Special is a press-style large format folding camera that takes 4x5 inch sheet film. Check that the leaf shutter in the lens fires accurately at all speeds, that the rangefinder (where fitted) is aligned with the ground glass, and that the front standard movements and focus rails operate smoothly.

Questions
What is the difference between a Crown Graphic and a Speed Graphic?
The Crown Graphic omits the focal-plane shutter found in the Speed Graphic, relying solely on the lens's leaf shutter, which makes the body slimmer and better suited to wide-angle lenses.
What film does the Crown Graphic Special use?
It uses 4x5 inch sheet film loaded in standard sheet film holders against the ground glass back.
