G is for Graphic - The ABC's of Antique Film Cameras

"G" is for Graphic: The Graphic 35 from Graflex

The Speed Graphic from Graflex is a camera that recalls the past. This was a common press camera, that took images on large plates.

Of course "Speed Graphic" begins with an 's,' so it shouldn't go under 'g.' However, we do have a Graphic 35. This is a coupled rangefinder camera for 35mm film.

The Graphic 35 was manufactured from 1955 to 1957. The black buttons on either side of the lens are the focus.

Because I mentioned the Speed Graphic...

Here is an early Speed Graphic and a close-up of its lens. Manufactured from 1912 to 1927.
