It is a horizontal only camera. It also has a small fixed lensboard and is not easily adaptable for lens swapping and it will not handle large diameter lenses. Other than that, it will work like any other Graflex slr.

It looks like it is in really nice condition. Enjoy it!

Nice camera..! This is the series B yes and it has a lot going for it.. She has her hood,handle,bellows in good condition..

I took some metal polish and brightened up the cranks on mine .. I had to replace my bellows with a scanvenged section of an old agfa camera.

I thought I might just trash the body and make one from heartwood.

You want verticals just tilt the camera on it's side.. These are fun cameras to shoot..

By the looks of it Id say she's worth 5-600.00 in good working order

If you hate it, you can pay me to take it off your hands. Grin.

Enjoy, there are no pitfalls.

Very cool cameras.....Those use (less common)Graflex film holders only. How well does the shutter work?
