Graflex Speed Graphic

{"overview":"The Graflex Speed Graphic is a large-format press camera produced in the United States by Graflex, with a focal-plane shutter built into the body in addition to the between-the-lens shutter of its taking lens. Condition, completeness of the rangefinder, and the presence of a working lens and film holders drive most of the price variation.","buying_guide":"Inspect the focal-plane shutter curtains for pinholes and sticky slow speeds, check the bellows for light leaks by opening them in a dark room with a torch inside, and confirm that the rangefinder (where fitted) is coupled and accurate. The front standard rails, leather covering and ground-glass back are common wear points, and lens shutters often need a service.
