Graflex Crown/Speed/Super Graphic Ownership?

[BradS]

I wonder how many people have owned or currently own a Graflex Crown, Speed or Super graphic.....


Also interested in how frequently it is / was used....

Here! A really nice Crown and a Speed. They get used in spurts. In the last year I've probably run 20-30 sheets through each.

Man that was fast! I have a beatup side RF Crown from around 1952 and use it regularly.

i have a 54 pacemaker speed, and use it pretty often,
i owned an older speed as a back up, and sold it to a friend a few years ago
and was gifted a crown by a dear friend, and i loaned it to a friend in need.

they are great cameras!

I have a '54 Pacemaker Speed, and use it not so much any more, although I used to quite a bit. My favorite 4x5 pix that I have taken were done with this camera. They are versatile workhorses. Even the ones that are beat to piss can be used. I will be using it PLENTY in the next six moths due to a certain project. I will be using it with an RH10 back for the project. It is the closest thing I have to a 4x5 field camera. A Tachihara some day, but for now the Speed will do. I am always on the lookout for a 2x3 clone of my 4x5. I want it to be a Pacemaker with a Graflok back, side Kalart RF, top VF. I don't mind the weight of the Speed vs. the Crown, and find the rear shutter to be a useful feature.

'29 Pre-Anny 4X5 speed with the dreaded "graflex" back (I love it), Pacemaker 4X5 Speed with a graflock back, , and a Century Graphic (2X3). Had the pre-anny out today.

I have a Super Graphic.
I am not using it as much as I would like.

Crown Graphic. My favorite camera ever since I bought it 2 years ago.

I have a Pacemaker Speed Graphic. I've used it a few times with Polaroid 55 film.
I have a Grafmatic loaded with TMax 400 waiting to use it. Plan to process the
film in Jobo processor. Will be interesting to see how I do.

Early Pacemaker Speed, side-mounted kalart and graflok back. Used mostly with a petzval, 7.5" kodak anastigmat and 10" kodak ektanon.
Also have a near-mint late pacemaker crown with 135mm congo. That's the handheld one.
Though I can use the speed handheld, I've calibrated the rangefinder to the 7.5" anastigmat.

Love these cameras.
