Description: 10% price drop - - Modified Graflex Super Speed Graphic press camera, military version KE-12(2). Serial # 254. Condition is Used. Film tested, fully functional, battery cover included, and electronic shutter works (two 22.5V batteries are required, batteries are not included with this sale - these can be ordered online and may need some adjustment to properly fit). Original spring back was damaged and has been replaced with a 3-D printed focusing back and a Grafmatic film holder. You first focus on the ground 'glass' (it's actually plastic with the same characteristics as a grond glass), remove it and slide the Grafmatic film holder in the metal grooves and take the picture. The distance dial on top of the camera and the rangefinder are slightly off so it is best to rely on the focusing back. It should be possible to properly calibrate the distance dial and the rangefinder. Lens: Rodenstock Graflex Optar 135mm f4.5 serial # 5241794. Lens in good condition, clean, minor dust. Shutter works, speeds below 1/15th are sticky. Back: 3-D printed Graflex Speed Graphic 4x5 ground 'glass' and framing back by Instant Madness.Film holder: 4x5 Grafmatic film sheet holder, with six septa. In good condition, works fine, numbering stuck at no. 2, does not affect functionality. NOTE TO BUYERS: You are buying a vintage item.
