Hi All..
Anyone have a clue as to what the standard lens for a WWI era reconnaissance Graflex is?? Focal length from flange to film plane is around 400 +/- millimeters.
Thanks in advance
GD

I'd love to see photos. naturalist Graflexes often used Protars in that length, and tessars would be a fast but heavy option.

What is the range of focus?

Hi Les
Thanks for the input...the camera has a rigid wooden body with a fixed infinity focus. I've measured the FL at approx. 16.5 inches.
I have not yet taken any photos of this camera....I have the nose cone off and hope to find an acceptible lens before unveiling it
You can see the only image of this camera I could find at this link:

I appreciate your interest.
