A New MF Toy for me - A 3.25 x 4.25 Crown Graphic

[Tom Hoskinson]

I just bought this one on eBay for $69.00. It's a A 3.25 x 4.25 Crown Graphic with a complete Grafloc Back and focusing hood. It came with a very clean 135mm f4.7 Graflex Optar and some sheet film holders (in excellent condition).

The coupled rangefinder works well - but I will be ordering a SatinSnow GG from Dave!

I have a good supply of Efke 100 and Efke 25 sheet film in the 3.25 x 4.25 size and if it is not raining this weekend, I'll be out in the field shooting !

Hi Tom,

$69 is a great deal! I paid a double of that, which I still consider a deal to me.

I think that 3x4 is cool. To me contact prints 120 films are a little too small, but 4x5 is too big to be intimate with images. This is a definitely format I will keep using along with ULF...

Warmly,
Tsuyoshi

p.s. I am waiting for PL100... Are they here yet?

I thought that it was difficult to get film this size. Everyone says avoid them because of this. That's why they are such good bargains.

I believe J&C stocks this size.

Tom,

Since you got such a good deal (and, yes, I'm very jealous) consider spreading a little more wealth and buy a roll film back to go with it!
