Graphic View I

 

Showing off its various bellows movements.

 

 

This beautiful looking beast of a camera is a Graphic View Model 1. Introduced in the 1940's, the Graphic View is a highly versatile camera, designed for studio and field work. Its large, red bellows, tilt shift capabilities and interchangeable lens boards and film backs make it one of the most versatile cameras in the world. It can take pretty much any kind of photos, on kind of film, with any lens and shutter.

 

 

This camera has been fitted with a Graflok film holder, rather than the standard spring back the camera originally came with. The Graflok back was fitted since it is more versatile, and can be used with any 4x5 film holder or adapter. This means you can use the camera with 4x5 film, Polaroid film, 120 format film, anything you like! All you need is the right back, and you can shoot on just about anything!

 

 

This baby is VERY versatile, capable of incredible quality portrait, landscape, tilt shift and macro photography.

 

 

The camera itself is in mint condition, serviced by myself. The bellows are supple and light-tight, each nut and bolt has been tightened and the camera has been thoroughly cleaned. Each lens and shutter is in immaculate condition.
