I just aquired this camera and would like to use it. It seems complete with two lenses. The film end has a spring loaded mechnism with a 4x5 frosted glass. That is what I see when I look at the back of the camera. What do I need or have to get to use this camera? What do I need to hold film, what kind of film can I use, etc. Thanks, Dave

Pick up a copy of either Graphic Graflex Photography, 9th or 10th edition and or one of the view camera books, either by Steve Sint or Les Stroebel.

You'll need some 4x5 film holders. You might want to look at Kodak's website for 4x5 film to see what they have to offer.

As to the roll back, becareful. A typical roll holder made by Graflex is too thick to fit your camera. Look for a Calumet C2 or C2N holder. Horseman made some of this type too.

I also got a lot of 669 polaroid film with this camera. Can it be used with the graphic view camera? Dave
