Graflex Graphic View II (Monorail)
The Graflex Graphic View II is a 4x5 large-format monorail view camera, a studio and technical camera type built for movements such as rise, fall, tilt, swing and shift. It was offered by Graflex of Rochester, New York, positioned as a workshop and commercial tool rather than a field camera.
Sales history for the Graphic View II is thin, so today's value picture is indicative rather than firm: the single recorded UK auction hammer result is £368 (Christie's, 1999), which sits in the wholesale saleroom band rather than at retail level. With only one data point on file, what a Graphic View II is worth in 2026 depends heavily on completeness of the rail, bellows condition and whether a usable lens and board are included; clean, complete outfits sell for more than stripped bodies.
