What is it?




All you "Old Salts" or better known as Real Photographers will recognize this reliable piece of equipment as our trustworthy Speed Graphic.
It was also a weapon at times. When there was a crowd of news photographers at a press conference or a dignitary arrival no one got in your way after you bumped them on the head once with this camera.
The Speed Graphic was a great camera and very versatile. Using the wire "sports finder" you never missed a shot. The lens was good for close-ups 1:1 and did good portrait work too.
