Hi all. I'm putting some information on a webpage about the Graflex cameras I use and want to be sure of my terms. Graflexes are uncommon here in Australia where I live.

1. I call my 120 roll film camera a Century Graflex, but should it be called a Century Graphic?
2. Are Century Graphics sometimes referred to as "baby Graflexes"?
3.I'll be writing that Century Graphics are durable, well built and reliable, at least my one seems to be. Is that a fair comment?
4. I'm also writing that the lens for the Century Graphic are not as good as the modern lens. Is that a fair comment?
5. For my 4x5 camera its called a Crown Graflex, not Crown Graphic.


Thanks.

Usuff Omar
