Weird Camera 1

  •   Weird Camera
    		• Close Encounter part I

    Did you have a close encounter with a weird looking camera? Show it to us and we will post it.
    This is the first one we would like to show.

    This is a Graflex 3x4 completely covered with stainless steel. This camera was made for a crime photographer for the Toronto Star News Paper. His name was Norm James. The camera he used had a CARL ZEISS LENS (TESSAR)1:4.5/200 - Set in compur shutter, Leitz rangefinder.

    In the old days the Graflex was more than once used to fight one's way up in front, imagine what it will feel like when you're hit by this one....
    For a crime photographer this possibly was a kind of insurance as a life saver.

    Weird Camera 2 Combat Graflex 45

  •   Combat Graflex "45"
    		• Close Encounter part II

    This is a Combat Graflex "45" with a 7 In Aero Ektar mounted.
    Surely looking weird and raising eyebrows, as it comes to focusing. How can you focus this unit with fixed focal length tube ???
