Never ran any film through this old guy but in it's day my father used it as his daily shooter. By the time I came around he's moved on to SLRs.

It is. Unfortunately, the film holders have long disappeared and I wouldn't even guess where one would find film....

I would think you could find them on eBay

You may be able to find a back for it that will take 120 film (if it's a 2x3). If it's 3x4, I may be able to sell you a few holders for a reasonable price. John.

Thanks John. I think it will stay up on a shelf with his other old cameras.

I shoot with my "Speed" quite a bit, also with a B & J Press, both 4 X 5's. Loved developing the b&w sheet film.

This one is the smaller format. I shot a fair amount on 4x5 & 8x10 in the day. Nothing beats large format. Made you really think about your shot.

I still have 3 different Graphics as it was the camera that I started with myself in the late 60's in the Navy. Lots of memories connected to those old beauties.
