A cool handheld 4x5 camera with reflex mirror. You look down and focus and compose on the ground glass through the chimney viewer. Then when you are ready to take a picture, you push a lever and the mirror swings up and the focal plane curtain shutter exposes the film. The camera has a rotating back and takes slotted film holders – two are included with the camera. Focus knob on front right. Of course it could be used on a tripod and you can pre-raise the mirror.

This camera is in good working condition, with curtain shutter in good working order, no light leaks. The lens is a Kodak Anastigmat No. 33 7.5 inch focal length f4.5. The glass is in good shape, has some slight bloom on front surface, while there are a few filter ring dents. Aperture is smooth and nice circular shape. You can mount all sorts of lenses by making your own lens boards, or extension lens boards out of tin cans.

Bellows is in good condition. The chimney finder has a lot of tape on it and works fine. The camera folds up into a compact box with carrying handle. There is a manual available online at www.graflex.org

$325 with 2 slotted film holders. Shipping at cost. Paypal accepted.

Let me know if any questions.

Jon
