Have found a circa 1960 Graflex 4x5 camera. Since it has no paperwork with it I am asking for advice to open the bellows lens.

| Try a search under "how to open camera" and you'll find this question has been asked and answered many times. |

What model Graflex?
If it's like my Graphic, somewhere under the leather you'll feel a bump (usually has visible contact wear on the spot). Under the bump is a button; press on the bump and the camera should spring open. HTH. |

Ok got it. Found a website with graflex instruction manual. Now just got to find an adapter for 35 mm or 4x5 film.
Thanks for the responses.

Um, I don't think there are any 35 mm adapters for 4x5 cameras. And you don't need an adapter for 4x5 film, you need a film holder. Back to the site map ... |
