Hi all! Have just bought a graflex speed #G40788 which has a Graflok rotating back, 135mm optar #G35793 and eletric body release. The odd thing is that I can't work out if I can change the rangefinder cam or not....My model has a little square viewfinder on top and the two little holes that make up the paralex lense are found on the left either side of the brandname Glaflex...not sure if thats very clear!! I'd like to put a longer lense on the camera so I presume I'm going to have to make a new rangefinder Cam. I've looked everywhere to find a model that looks like mine but haven't found anything. If you think I know what I'm talking about (or you'd like me to send an email photo of the camera) I'd love to hear from you! MARGARET

Sounds like you either have a Super Graphic or a Super Speed Graphic.

You'll have to open the camera up, pull out the front standard and flip the cover over the cam to look at it. It located inside the body under the rangefinder.

and..../or.... click on the Graflex.org at the top of most pages to get to the Home Page. Once there click on Cameras on the right side of the page.
Now click on Graflex Graphic Model History. Scroll to the bottom of that page and click on either Super Speed Graphic or Super Graphic links. Is this your camera?
Cam information is found under the Technical Information on the Home Page.
