I'm torn between the Graphics Crown and Graphics Super camera.
Will predominantly be using it for potrait photography and using selective focusing to achieve certain effects I want.

So front movements is something I want.

The movements on the Super seems to be limited - but adequate for someting like portrait photography. Are the movements on the Crown much more limited than on the Super?

Try this link. This is a scan I made from a Graflex press release.

That's an interesting comparison, but not quite accurate. It shows the minimum bellows for the Crown at 7 1/8 inch? Since a 6 inch lens is "normal" and a 5 inch lens was standard, something's obviously wrong! It does 3 1/2 easily and probably down to 2 3/4. I couldn't find it at the moment...

I agree 7 1/8 can't be right, it must be a mis-print but I scanned it right off the Graflex news letter anouncing the new camera.

I"m guessing that they meant 2 1/8" since i can focus a 58mm grandagon (2 1/3") and have heard of people using a47mm with a roll back and still making infiity
