Hello, could someone tell me which back comes standard with the Super Speed Graphic?Also, how would the fresnel lens and groundglass be arranged in this back? Would the fresnel go between the lens and the GG?

Thanks.

The Super Graflexes have a rotating graflok back intergal to the camera body. The Focusing panel covers the full back of the camera and locks into place with spring loaded levers simular to the Pacemaker series. The fresnel, ekatlite screen as graflex called them, and the ground glass mount the same as the Pacemaker series cameras. Lens/ekatlite screen smooth side/groundglass etched side against ektalite screen's ribed side/groundglass smooth side, what the camera opeator should look at when focusing.

Um, that's correct, except in reverse. From the back of the camera you first see the smooth side of the gg, then etched gg against ribbed Ektalite, etc.
