Graflex Speed Graphic 4X5 Camera + Leitz Elmaron 150mm F2.8 lens + holders +film #2862

This Graflex Speed Graphic is a lightweight, rigid and highly capable 4X5 folding field camera with a built in focal plane shutter. The focal plane shutter enables the usage of shutterless "barrel" lenses and in this case facilitates the use of the Fixed aperture Elmaron 150mm F2.8 lens, though any type of lens can be used, with or without a shutter. With speeds of up to 1/1000th of a second, this is a highly versatile system that can be used hand held, in the field or in the studio in a wide range of lighting conditions.

This camera is built around the venerable Leitz Elmaron (Hektor) 150mm F2.8 lens, which offers amazing shallow depth of field, background swirl and smooth bokeh.
