This Graflex Crown Graphic 4x5 is a large format press camera that was made by the American camera manufacturer Graflex for over 60 years. The Crown Graphic is designed to be highly portable and quick to set up. When not in use, the front standard slides into the body of the camera and the focusing bed folds up to create a sturdy box with a convenient carrying handle. Likewise, the Crown Graphic is fast to set up requiring a push of a button and pulling the standard out to a pre-set focusing stop. You can be ready to use this camera in less than 10 seconds! It is a durable and well-designed camera as well, intended to take the constant beating of life on streets. The Crown Graphic allows the interchanging of lenses, via removable lens boards. Their are limited movements to the front standard, notably rise, rearward tilt and shift.
Over its lifespan, the Crown Graphic featured different styles of backs for holding film holders: the Graphic (non-removable focusing hood held in place by springs), the Graflex back and the Graflok back - the latter of which is generally considered the most desirable and versatile. Similarly the Crown Graphic could be found with either side or top-mounted rangefinders, or no rangefinder.
This model has the early Graflex-style back that is not compatible with later Graflok film backs. It also has a side-mounted rangefinder.
