Wonder if any of these still exist? ..

La Graflex 3A és realment una cà mera força espectacular, tant per les seves mides com per ser probablement la reflex (SLR) de pel·licula més gran del món. Efectivament, aquesta inmensa cà mera és una reflex (tot i que no amb pentaprisma, pel que cal mirar la imatge cap avall, com les TLR) i fa servir rodets d'un gran format ja desaparescut, el Kodak 122. Aquest format, anomenat també 3A (com aquesta cà mera, per raons obvies), fou creat per a la Kodak No.3A Folding Pocket i permetia tenir 8 fotografies de 8,25x14 cm!!
La Graflex 3A, produida per Graflex mentre era propietat de Kodak, es fabricà entre 1907 i 1926; compta amb un obturador de pla focal del famós tipus Graflex. Precisament esser una reflex de rodet i amb aquests negatius tan grans la feren una favorita dels periodistes i reporters de guerra, especialment durant la I Guerra Mundial.
Aquesta cà mera en concret, tot i que exteriorment en molt bon estat, per desgracia té de moment l'obturador bloquejat. Es possible que si m'animo, potser provi de revisar-ne el mecanisme. De fet ja vaig fer amb exit una reparació similar amb la Speed Kodak No.1A. Compta amb un objectiu Bausch - Lomb Tessar Series Ic f4.5. Hi ha un petit detall interssant i es que les cantonades frontals de la cà mera amaguen dos petits compartiments on es podien guardar fins a 4 rodets de 122.

The Graflex 3A is truly a pretty spectacular camera, both for its size and for being probably the largest SLR film in the world. Indeed, this huge camera is a reflection (although not with pentaprism, so you have to look down the image, like the TLR) and uses rollers of a large format that has disappeared, the Kodak 122. This format, also called 3A (like this camera, for obvious reasons), was created for the Kodak No.3A Folding Pocket and allowed to have 8 photos of 8.25x14 cm !!
The Graflex 3A, produced by Graflex while owned by Kodak, was manufactured between 1907 and 1926; it has a focal plane shutter of the famous Graflex type. Precisely being a reel reflex and with such great negatives made it a favorite of journalists and war reporters, especially during World War I.
This particular camera, although externally in very good condition, unfortunately currently has the shutter locked. It is possible that if I am encouraged, I may try to review its mechanism. In fact I already successfully did a similar repair with the Kodak Speed ​​No.1A. It has a Bausch - Lomb Tessar Series Ic f4.5 lens. There is a small interesting detail and that is that the front corners of the camera hide two small compartments where up to 4 rollers of 122 could be stored.
This camera was made after 1915 as it sports the Autographic "window" in the back
