What makes this 'Mini' edition so wonderful is that it shrinks that legendary 4x5 workhorse experience into a much more compact, agile hand-held chassis without stripping away any of the mechanical complexity. Having it paired with a genuine pre-war Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar from Wetzlar is a massive treat; the lens yields an organic, gorgeous tonal roll-off and a smooth bokeh sweep that modern computerized optics simply cannot match. It is an incredibly honest, tactile machine that demands you understand the fundamentals of light and exposure. Whether you are loading sheet film for fine-art studio portraiture or adapting a 6x9 roll-film back for mobile field landscapes, this Graflex setup is a top-tier investment.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eGraflex Speed Graphic\u003c\/b\u003e 2¼ x 3¼ Press Camera Body\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCarl Zeiss Jena Tessar 105mm f\/4.5\u003c\/b\u003e Prime Lens (S\/N: 2217698)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\"\u003eIntegrated Compur Front Leaf Shutter Assembly\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,3,0\"\u003eDrop-Down Front Bed Extension Rails\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,4,0\"\u003eRear Hooded Ground Glass Focusing Back\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\"\u003eBrand: \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"7\"\u003eGraflex\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\"\u003eModel: \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"7\"\u003eSpeed Graphic (Miniature 2.25x3.25)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\"\u003eCamera Type: Large Format Camera\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,3,0\"\u003eFilm Format: 2¼ x 3¼ inches Sheet Film \/ Plate (Adaptable to 120 Roll Film)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,4,0\"\u003eLens Mount: Interchangeable Wooden Lens Board System\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,5,0\"\u003eFocal Length: 105mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,6,0\"\u003eMaximum Aperture: f\/4.5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,7,0\"\u003eShutter Systems: Front Compur Leaf Shutter \u0026amp; Rear Mechanical Cloth Focal-Plane Shutter (Up to 1\/1000s)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,8,0\"\u003eCategory: 1.
