Ye Olde Trusty Crown Graphic
Ye Olde Trusty Crown Graphic
Here's my ultimate flea market find. I just couldn't leave it on the shelf for the $20.00 asking price.
Somebody went to a lot of work to cobble this together out of a graphic back and strap lugs plus a 65mm f6.8 Wollensak Raptar WA, and a really neat plunger assembly to fire the shutter.
The only problem is that it's rigid and the focus is set for about five feet.
As weird as it is, I don't have the heart to modify it for a better focus.
And, I love the paint job...kind of a cross between moss green and puss yellow!!!
