john_moye Posted June 4, 2001 Share Posted June 4, 2001 I bought this camera by mistake, thinking it was a 4x5. Does anyone know if there is film for this camera or if it can be converted to a film size like 120mm. It came with a 135mm F/4.7 lens and also has a focal plane shutter in the camera body, 135mm lens is also in a shutter that has T,B, and shutter speeds from 1 sec. to 1/400 sec. Lens can be open and closed without releasing the shutter by a little lever on the lens when the lens is cocked. The camera is a Graflex Speedgraphic 3 1/4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ted_davis3 Posted June 4, 2001 Share Posted June 4, 2001 John I'm afraid you'll have to cut 4x5 sheets to 3 1/4x4x 1/4 to fit the film holders, or look on ebay for a 120 roll film adapter. I just saw a Singer Graflex one at Samys camera in Venice California. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_willison Posted June 4, 2001 Share Posted June 4, 2001 Take a look at the following site. It lays out your options, including cuting down 4x5 film, purchasing 3x4 film from Film For Classics, building your own back, or cutting down a 4x5 Graflex roll film back. I hope this helps. <p> http://www.graflex.org/speed-graphic/graphic-3x4.ht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oren_grad Posted June 4, 2001 Share Posted June 4, 2001 John - <p> You can get film cut to order in virtually any size from Photo Warehouse, tel. (805) 485-9654. They offer both ISO 125 and ISO 400, they're cheap, and they're fast - typically takes a week to get the film. I've had them cut film for me in both 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 and 6 1/2 x 8 1/2. Be sure to tell them that you want the film cut FOR HOLDERS, which means slightly smaller than the nominal size. Good luck... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dean_lastoria Posted June 5, 2001 Share Posted June 5, 2001 I have one and use a 120 back -- sometimes Equinox has these -- I'm sure there are other places too. More bellows than a 2x3. <p> Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
