For those of you from Apug, bear with me.
To put it shortly, I recently purchased a photographers collection. It included this Speed Graphic which he said was last used about 4 years ago. He originally said that it was a 4x5, but the film holders that came with it are 3 1/4x4 1/4. I did not notice this until after I purchased it. Someone on Apug said that it looks like a pre-anniversary model, but there are no name plates or model numbers present on it. It did come with two lenses, one with a top shutter speed of 1/200th (pictures) and another Wollensak with a top shutter speed of 1/100th f/3.5.
I have looked on the Graflex website, and I'm still trying to make sense, but as I am completely unfamiliar with these cameras it's a bit overwhelming. Just trying to figure out how to open the camera was a task in itself - I didn't realize the hidden lock button was on top.
Can anyone provide a definitive model on this one? Or tell me more about it.
