Graflex was a manufacturer, a brand name, and several models of cameras. The company was originally founded as the Folmer and Schwing Manufacturing Company in New York City in 1887 by William F. Folmer and William E. Schwing as a metal working factory, manufacturing gas light fixtures, chandeliers, bicycles and eventually, cameras. In 1909, it was acquired by George Eastman, and the company was moved to 12 Caledonia Avenue (later renamed Clarissa Street), Rochester, NY in 1928, as the Folmer & Schwing Division of the Eastman Kodak Company. In 1926, Kodak was forced to divest itself of the division, which was spun off forming a new company, the Folmer Graflex Corporation, which changed its name to Graflex Inc. in 1946. In 1956, it became a Division of the General Instrument Precision Company, and moved its offices to Pittsford, NY. In 1966, the company was sold to the Singer Corporation
Graflex was known for the quintessential press camera, the Speed Graphic which was manufactured for over 60 years, and was used by most of the photojournalists in the first half of the 20th century.
Graflex Crown Graphic 4x5 camera -- large format for beginners!
With my Graflex Crown Graphic camera, I have finally gotten around to 4x5 photography. It is such a different and slower process to the film formats that I am accustomed to. The Crown Graphic is very old camera from the late 40s/early 50s and has everything you need to get started with large format film photography. Its very different from modern options like Intrepid. Large format film photography can be daunting, but this is only the beginning of my journey.
My Crown Graphic has a f4.7 with shutter speeds up to 1/400th of a second.

A 1924 Graflex 4x5 Camera on the Street
Todd takes out a 1924 Graflex Auto RB SLR camera out on the street for a test run on a historic hotel. A large format camera on the street gets a lot of attention. Similar to the Graflex Series D, this camera performs remarkably well after nearly 100 years. This camera is loaded with Kodak Portra 160 4x5 sheet film--and most of the images come out.

Graflex Speed Graphic
Overall it is in great working condition. Apart from the missing door lock and weak slow shutter on the lens. The focal plane shutter works great and this is a great camera to mount old barrel, projector or enlarger lenses onto.
The current lens mounted on this is a Graflex Optar 1:4.7 135mm in the Graphex shutter.

Graflex was a manufacturer, a brand name, and several models of cameras. The company was originally founded as the Folmer and Schwing Manufacturing Company in New York City in 1887 by William F. Folmer and William E. Schwing as a metal working factory, manufacturing gas light fixtures, chandeliers, bicycles and eventually, cameras. In 1909, it was acquired by George Eastman, and the company was moved to 12 Caledonia Avenue (later renamed Clarissa Street), Rochester, NY in 1928, as the Folmer & Schwing Division of the Eastman Kodak Company. In 1926, Kodak was forced to divest itself of the division, which was spun off forming a new company, the Folmer Graflex Corporation, which changed its name to Graflex Inc. in 1946. In 1956, it became a Division of the General Instrument Precision Company, and moved its offices to Pittsford, NY. In 1966, the company was sold to the Singer Corporation
Graflex was known for the quintessential press camera, the Speed Graphic which was manufactured for over 60 years, and was used by most of the photojournalists in the first half of the 20th century.
[Words: Brian, Riffs: Duffy] Addicted to the horror, I love to see the blood, excitement runs through my veins as I watch them kill the young adrenalin is strong, I thrive brutal death depicting scenes of graphic violence is what fills up my head. [Chorus:] Murders, stabbing, snuffing I watch in sheer intent. Slaughters, bleeding, eating, amusement makes me laugh. People going crazy, killing just for fun, Hitmen getting paid to kill victims with their guns. Heads cut off here, guts chewed up there, eyes scan the screen with that sickening vile stare. As long as there is Adism, scraping and messy gore, I won't even care
