Graflex Pacemaker Speed Graphic
The Graflex Pacemaker Speed Graphic is a press-style large format film camera produced in the United States during the mid-twentieth century. It uses sheet film and combines a focal-plane shutter with a front-mounted leaf shutter, and was widely used by working press photographers when new.
Sales data for the Pacemaker Speed Graphic is thin, but a 2023 UK auction hammer result of £130 gives a baseline for what one of these cameras sells for at saleroom level today. With only a single recorded wholesale price, the value of any individual example will swing widely on completeness, lens fitment and shutter condition rather than tracking a settled market median.
Sales History
