The Graflex Crown Graphic Special is a press-style large format folding camera that takes 4x5 inch sheet film. Built in the United States by Graflex, it was a working press and field camera from the mid-twentieth century, distinguished from the Speed Graphic by the absence of a focal-plane shutter, which allowed for a slimmer body and the use of wide-angle lenses closer to the film plane.

At recent UK auction, the Crown Graphic Special has been changing hands at hammer levels of around £500, with two 2025 sales at Chiswick Auctions both achieving £504. With only a small sample of saleroom results, the value today is best read as roughly £500 for a complete working example, and buyers should remember these are wholesale hammer prices that exclude commission rather than retail asking figures.
