The camera pictured here, http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Graflex-4x5-Graphic-View-monorail-camera-3-lenses-red-bellows-/271193675030?pt=US_Vintage_Cameras&hash=item3f24671516 , has front and rear standard mounts facing in opposite directions. Ditto the one pictured here, in the top picture: http://graflex.org/articles/graphic-view/GraphicViewII.html . Note, however, that the photo labelled "Rise and Tilt" has the front mount facing out! But the one pictured on this page, http://graflex.org/articles/graphic-view/ , has them oriented in the same direction, which is the only way I've ever seen the Graphic View II pictured. How can this be? What gives here?

Henry,
Look at the auction listing pictures, the focus knobs for the standards are on the left. Look at the pictures on the home page articles, the focus knobs are on the right.

Easy enough to disconnect the back and front standard frames from the standard arms, reverse them, and reattach for left handed operation.
