The Crown is a useful camera for backpacking, especially if you aren't concerned with it looking like new. The front standard can be reversed to give more convenient front tilt, although many Polaroid and 135mm lenses don't have enough coverage for anything but a drop-bed front tilt. If the rangefinder and tubular viewfinder aren't functional, take them off. If the leather covering is scruffy, good! you won't have to worry about making it worse in the field. Some pristine Graphics look fine in a display case. Others have earned the right to keep on working, and work they do! I have Graphics that have been altered for specific uses. They wouldn't have lit a gleam in a collector's eye when I got them, and a collector would be appalled at the way they look now. It's better to display the photographs a camera makes than merely the camera itself.
