La Graflex Pacemaker Speed Graphic de 4x5 polzades és el summum de la càmera de premsa de gran format des de els anys 40 fins a inicis dels 60. Ja les Speed Graphic anteriors (Pre-Anniversary, Anniversary) havien dominat en bona mesura els anys 30 i 40, sobretot als Estats Units. La versió Pacemaker del 1947 millora les qualitats del model Anniversary, sobretot en fermesa: es substitueix l'estructura de fusta per una de totalment metal·lica. És l'equivalent a un tanc en el món de la fotografía. Igualment millorà en certa mesura els moviments del objectiu, i es simplificà l'obturador de pla focal sense perdre capacitats. Amés, aviat si incorporà el sistema Graflok per a carregar portaplaques, magatzems de plaques o adaptadors de filmpacks i pel·licula format 120. Una càmera realment tot terreny.
Aquesta en concret fou fabricada el 1949, incorpora el "Graflok back" i l'objectiu que venia amb ella és un Kodak Anastigmat f4.5 de 6 3/9 polzades, montat en un obturador No.3 Kodak Supermatic. Per desgràcia el visor es va mig trencar en el transport, però és facilment substituible.
Ah, i el motiu esencial per sumar aquesta càmera a la Crown Graphic i la Anniversary Speed Graphic que ja tenia és que aquesta és la millor opció per poder montar-hi un inmens objectiu Kodak Aero Ektar de la Segona Guerra Mundial.

=================================================
The 4x5" Graflex Pacemaker Speed Graphic is the summum of the large-format press camera from the 40's to the beginning of the 60's. Previous Speed Graphic models (Pre-Anniversary, Anniversary) had already dominated the 30's and 40, especially in the United States. The Pacemaker version of 1947 improves the qualities of the Anniversary model, especially in solidity: the wood structure is replaced by a completely metallic one. It is the equivalent of a tank in the world of photography. It also improved to a certain extent the lens movements, and the focal plane shutter was simplified without losing capacities. Plus, soon it incorporated the Graflok back system to load plate holders, film magazines (Grafmatic) or filmpack and rollfilm adapters.
This one in particular was manufactured in 1949, and incorporates the "Graflok back"; the lens that came with it is a Kodak Anastigmat f4.5 in 6 3/9", mounted on a No.3 Kodak Supermatic leaf shutter. Unfortunately, the viewfinder was broken during shipping, but it is easily replaceable.
Oh, and the essential reason to add this camera to the Crown Graphic and the Anniversary Speed Graphic that I already had is that this is the best option to mount an immense WW2 Kodak Aero Ektar recon lens.

Aquí teniu una càmera realment creada per al militars, una màquina fruit directe del combat al Pacific durant la Segona Guerra Mundial.
A veure, de fet es tracta d'una modificació (força extensa) d'un model probat i fiable en aquell moment, la Graflex Aniversary Speed Graphic de format 4x5 polzades. La Speed Graphic era la càmera iconica per excel·lencia dels reporters grafics, sobretot nord-americans, als anys 30 i 40. Milers d'elles foren incorporades als exercits al·liats, amb poques o cap modificació. De fet tinc una d'aquestes Speed Graphic emprades per la USAAF com a càmera C-3. Però apart d'estar pintades en negre i algun detall infim, es tracta dels mateixos models que empraven els periodistes civils.
La Combat Graphic fou fabricada per encarrec de la US Navy i els Marines (USMC) expressament per a aguantar les dures condicions de calor i humitat del front del Pacific. Per això es substituí la relativament fragil manxa per una caixa de fusta (amb tapadora i tot, MOLT bén pensada). En resulta una camera molt més ferma i resistent, però amb certes limitacions. Es limitaren les velocitats del obturador de pla focal, i s'elimanern el visor telescopic i sobretot el telemetre.
Però en fer-la servir he de dir que amb tot plegat en surt una càmera molt més ferma i alhora lliure de molts extres que fan més nosa que servei.
Amb tot, la Combat Graphic només es produí en nombre limitat i pel que sembla totalment al 1944. Totes les càmeres porten el mateix objectiu, el Kodak Anastigmat Special f4.7 / 127mm, montat en un obturador Kodak Supermatic. Sembla que el seu ús en combat es limità bàsicament a les batalles de Iwo Jima i Okinawa, al 1945. En principi les de la marina estaven pintades de verd o gris clar, i les dels Marines, de verd. Acabada la guerra, unes poques continuaren en servei fins als anys 60, però la majoria o es destruiren o es varen vendre. Algunes les va vendre la propia Graflex com a model civil "Graphic 45", i altres sobrants del exèrcit, majoritariament pintades de negre.
El meu exemplar, que funciona a la perfecció, compta amb un darrera tipus Graphic i manca de qualsevol identificació, civil o militar, tot i que està pintada de color verd. Pertant, tant pot ser que hagués "servit" amb la US Navy o els Marines, o que no hagués sortit del magatzem del fabricant abans la guerra acabés. Qui sap!

=========================================
Here’s a camera really created for the military, a machine which was the direct result of combat experience in the Pacific during World War II.
In fact it is a modification (quite extensive) of a thrully tested and reliable model at the time: the Graflex Aniversary Speed Graphic in 4x5 format. The Speed Graphic was the quintessential iconic camera for graphic reporters, especially American ones, in the 1930s and 1940s. Thousands of them were incorporated into Allied armies, with little or no modification. In fact I have one of these Speed Graphic used by the USAAF as a C-3 camera. But apart from being painted black and some tiny detail, these are the same models used by civilian journalists.
The Combat Graphic was commissioned by the US Navy and Marine Corps (USMC) specifically to withstand the harsh heat and humidity of the Pacific front. That's why the relatively fragile bellows was replaced by a wooden box (with closing lid & hand gripper, VERY well thought out). The result is a much firmer and more resistant camera, but with certain limitations. The speeds of the focal plane shutter were limited, and the telescopic viewfinder and especially the rangefinder were removed.
But when using it I must say that with all this comes a much firmer camera and at the same time free of many extras that are more annoying than useful.
However, the Combat Graphic was only produced in limited numbers and apparently entirely in 1944. All cameras carry the same lens, the Kodak Anastigmat Special f4.7 / 127mm, mounted on a Kodak Supermatic shutter. It seems that its use in combat was basically limited to the battles of Iwo Jima and Okinawa, in 1945. In principle those of the navy were painted green or light gray, and those of the Marines, green. After the war, a few remained in service until the 1960s, but most were either scrapped or sold. Some were sold by Graflex itself as a "Graphic 45" civilian model, and others left over from the army, mostly painted black and sold by Burke & James as surplus.
My copy, which works perfectly, has a Graphic type back, and lacks any identification, civilian or military, even though it is painted green. Therefore, it may have “served” with the U.S. Navy or Marines, or that it had not left the manufacturer’s warehouse before the war ended. Who knows!

My graphic design in 1969. An independent study bulletin for the University of Iowa.
I followed the rural mailman in my volkswagen beetle taking photographs of him delivering mail. He finally stopped and asked what I was doing and I explained that I was taking pictures to use at the university. That cleared things up as Iowans have a deep respect for their universities.
At least I didn't have to develop and print my shots as the university handled that through their photo lab and it was just as well. I had very little spare time because my youngest daughter played in the Iowa City high school marching band. If you've ever lived in the mid-west you would understand. I knew every high school football field from Keokuk to What Cheer. And I never realized how many kids and musical instruments could fit into a volkswagen!

I call this "Grant's graphic" because I created this graphic based on this image, a picture taken by my friend, Grant here - flic.kr/p/JJkKoT, on Flickr
Here's what I did. I first imported Grant's original picture (shown below) into Photoshop. I cleaned up the raster image and after getting the edge details as sharp as possible, this was saved as a Photoshop file (.psd) to my desktop. I then opened the .psd file in Adobe Illustrator and using the Illustrator "Image Trace" feature, I created a "vector" version of this graphic. * You then need to select and click on Object > Expand to make the vector image editable in Illustrator.
However, being that flickr does not allow for the upload of vector images, I had to import the Illustrator file back into Photoshop and then save the image in .png format. (which is the best format for images having no graduations of colors or tone - basically "spot colors" which were used in this graphic.) I then uploaded this image as a .png file. (BTW - .png does not allow for the storage and display of EXIF metadata.)
If I were able to upload the vector image (in it's vector format - .ai or .eps) it could be seen how enlargement of the image has no deteriorating affect on sharpness of edge detail - whereas in raster format, enlargement of an image will show ragged edges due to pixeliation. And yes, the colors in this design can easily be changed to any color (or gradient) one chooses.
Now folks, when you view this image on your monitor you will see jagged edges because in order to upload this graphic, it needs to be converted back into a rasterized image. If however, you want to come to my house and view this as a vector image on my monitor, you will not see any jagged edges regardless how much I enlarge the image. I'll even offer ya a cold beer...................
Now how many people really care about all this......... very few, I'm sure.
................ and I think Grant should have this design tattooed on his arm.............or ??
