After receiving some additional pics of the camera, I realized the back doesn't look like a normal spring back. It looks like it might be a Graflex back, but I'm by no means an expert, so I'm not certain. How can I tell what kind of back it is from a couple of pictures? Thanks for your help!! | ||

The Graflex back and Graphic (Spring) are very distinctive from one another. The Graflex backs (normally seen on the Graflex SLR's) have a drop out focus panel which does not have the two "wings" on the side of it. <font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: sobahguy on 2004-11-10 10:14 ]</font> | ||

One above the focusing panel, none below = Graflex. One above and one below = Graflok. None (and springs above and below) = Graphic. Good luck, Dan | ||

Oh well, it is a real clean looking camera, and the price is right (right now). I suppose if I get it I will see about swapping the Graflex back for a Graphic back. Thanks again!! | ||
