In Reply to: Instructions for Using Crown Graphic posted by Hannah Hartley on December 16, 2000 at 13:42:53:Hi Hannah,
If you haven't already gotten yourself a manual for your camera by
now, you might want to check out this web site: "ManualsRus",
www.manualsrus.com
Basically they're a reprint service that has just about "any"
camera user/repair manual you can imagine. I believe they have all
of the Graflex line of manuals. You can get either the printed
manual, a CD, or you can just download off of their web site. I
haven't used them, I got lucky and found an old manual from a
friend, so I can't say one way or another how good the stuff is.
Check em out and see if you can use them. HTH, Ron
: Ihave a Crown Graphic w/ an Ilex Paragon 165mm lens. I've
played around with the camera and a
: Polariod back for a couple years with terrible results. I really
don't know what I'm doing or what the
: knobs and adjustments on camera and lens are for. I was hoping
there might be an electronic manual I
: might view for help. I've read through a great deal of postings
which have been helpful in determining
: why it won't focus (I think the Kalart side RF needs
adjusting...I've read the article-way over my head!).
: Lastly, I ran across a posting (that Inow can't find) describing
where there is a list of serial numbers
: relating to the date of manufacture where I might find the age of
my camera #434204 and if this is the
: original lens #53849 that would have come with it? This is such a
great site. I look forward to
: returning often and possibly one day knowing enough so that I
might return the knowledge.Thank
: you
