MINIATURE SPEED GRAPHIC |
Année /
year 1938-1947 SN 356608 Classic small press camera for 2¼" x 3¼" exposures on sheet film (6 x 9 cm). This particular model appears to be from 1946 according to the serial number of the original lens EO10407(coated). It is the smallest Speed Graphic ever made in the long history of Graflex. As per movement, it had no lateral shift and the bed did not drop as the Anniversary models.

The large handle is on side of the camera ; 2 focus knobs on the metal bed, chrome trim. There is also a focal plane shutter (tension D-6 for speeds T, 1/10 to to 1/1000 !).
