Looking for help with how to operate and buy film and accessories for our graflex. This was my husband's great uncles camera and it has been well taken care of. Looking for people in the Connecticut or New England area who might be able to teach us more about this beautiful camera.

The first thing to so is read the information available on this site. It should help you a lot. Also, go to southbristolviews.com and scroll down to the Graflex mauals tab on the left. If you have a used book store nearby, try to find a copy of Graphic Graflex Photography by Morgan & Lester. If you try for the 1947 edition, it will cover most models. Amazon.com has copies available at times. The ultimate book for the Graflex user.

OK,so wrong England,but a manual would explain all,always found Graphic instruction well laid out....plus you would learn a lot from this forum over time.
Enjoy this GREAT camera,even another guy came up to me in London on Saturday and politely asked the date of Graphic I was using.They are taken back in this modern day & age how these hand built cameras are still working,but they are.

They will outlast us all...

May your pictures be winners...greetings of course from me and London.

ditto all above.
There is more than enough info on this and other related sites that enabled me to get up and running with the Graphics as soon as I got my hands on one. I find them easier to opperate than reading the instructions for these new bells and whistles cameras that can electronically think of more ways not to expose an image.
Perhaps the first place to start with these things is to figure out what kind of mechanical opperative condition they are in, ie: shutter functioning, lens glass is clean inside and out, bellows are reasonably light tight, RF works with the lens on camera or of choice etc... Then I take them out and test them with film on a variety of subject matter depending on what needs checking out and so on.
In the long run it will depend on what one wishes to do with the camera and if it will function to that end. IF I were to shoot something spontaneous I would want the thing working reasonably well and be confident in its opperation and would use my Grafmatic or roll backs.
Anyway, I do not know anyone who can help with using these cameras as well as the camera itself.
regards,
