The Speed Graphic all dressed -up. Looking very impressive indeed, but what can it actually do? Dressed-up like this, it is not really for hand-held street shooting, but it can do very well in the field. Field cameras mostly made of wood and from the flat-bed type have much more movements, but for landscape photography not many movements are used.
Our SG can be a perfect substitute, however minimal movements are available. What do we have? The SG has a suitable rise, backwards tilt and some shift aswell.
These movements alone, eventually used together with the drop-bed possibility, are in most cases sufficient and competent to handle most situations.
