Description: I bought this Graflex fully serviced as a way to break into view camera style shooting, but the methodology just doesn’t suit me, so it’s time for it to find a new home. I’ve never shot a roll of film with it, so I need to sell it as-is. I’ve run through all the shutter speeds on both lenses and everything seems to be working as it should The seller cleaned and lubricated the Schneider Xenotar 80mm f2.8 in Syncro-Compur shutter. The Kalart rangefinder also cleaned and calibrated for this lens. He found the correct focus scale, but not for right-hand mounting. This is why it is reversed on the door. The Graflex Graflar 105mm f4.5 in Prontor-SVS shutter is original to the body. The focus scale for this lens is on the left side of the door. There are lens rail stops for both lenses on the focus rail. The Graflar lens has some spots on the underside of the front element. It came to me this way and will likely not affect photos. I tried to get a photo of this, but it’s tough to see. The body, bellows and all mechanicals are excellent. I replaced the hand strap with a new leather one. Camera folds and performs all movements as expected. Included are 4 later model lever action 120 film backs with complete internals and rollers. 2 6x7 RH10, one RH8 and one 6x6 RH12. I expect these will perform well, but again, I have not shot any film with them. For curiosity, two other film backs are included and a Horseman optical exposure computer. I never got batteries for it so I’ve got no idea if it works. The glass window covering the meter was broken when I received it. Please ask any questions you’ve got and I will try to answer as quickly as possible. I have and shoot a lot of vintage cameras, so I’m pretty confident you will be happy with your purchase. I’d be keeping this Graflex, but I’m just happier with the medium format SLR experience. Thanks for looking!
