i recently bought my first LF camera, a Speed Graphic, on that large online auction site. here are pictures of the unit.

first question: what model is this? Pacemaker? something else? the reason i want to know is so i can identify it when buying parts, and, especially, a manual.

for example, is this the correct manual? or, should i use another? if so, which one?

also, i've heard that with a certain type of back i can use 4x5 film multi-shot "cassettes". what specifically is this back called so that i know what to buy?

thanks in advance.

Yes this is a Pacemaker camera. Specifically a "Pacemaker 45" but calls it a "4by5 Pacemaker Speed Graphic"

It's called a Grafmatic holder, other names are a Grafmatic magazine. There is one Grafmatic that was made for a camera that you don't have and it won't fit your camera. Look closely when you buy....if it says "45 Graflex" then walk away. Most will say "made by Graflex, Inc" but it's the "45 Graflex" that you need to stay away from.

If it says "45 Graphic" or "Cat. 1268" then you're fine. They made "45 Graphic" Grafmatics without the cat number and they are okay too.


Take a look around the rest of the site, there's a whole lot here for you to see.

thanks, Les. i forgot to ask the obvious question: what is the general date of manufacture of a model with serial no. 846741.
