Hello!

I have two Speed Graphics (4x5), and I'd like to know when they were made.

The first is a Pacemaker with a side-mounted Kalart RF, Graflock (how is that supposed to be spelled?!) back, has the bed release button on the side rather than the top, and serial number 452903.

The second is a Top RF Speed. I looked under the bed where the code is, and found that it was not a letter-number-letter code, but the number "32". What's that about? The serial number on this camera is 903511.

Finally, since I'm here, any ideas on a 135mm Optar in a Graphex "X Synchromatic" shutter? The serial number on the lens is G32259.

Thanks!
