In Reply to: ?film for a Graflex model B posted by Chris on February 16, 2001 at 18:59:25:: This camera is realy old, I saw a picture of one like
: itwhich dates to 1907. It has a sort of pop out lens,
: and adjustable aperature. I assume it has a 45*
: mirror inside which acts as the shutter. In the back
: a film holder slides in. My question is if it uses
: some type of collodial wet process, or dry plates, or
: simply paper. My research just doesn't state this as
: clear as I need it to be stated.
If it is a B model...It will have a rotating
back--a Kodak Anastigmat Lens (iris only)--with
a cloth focal plane shutter<<<was made between
1923 and 1942 in 4x5 and 3x4...2x3 was made 1923
to 1951---uses std cut film<<the lens will be a
#31 (2x3) #32 (3x4) #33 (4x5)
