Anyone have a clue as to what the standard lens for a WWI era reconnaissance Graflex is?? Focal length from flange to film plane is around 400 +/- millimeters. Thanks in advance GD |

I've measured the FL at approx. 16.5 inches. I have not yet taken any photos of this camera....I have the nose cone off and hope to find an acceptible lens before unveiling it  You can see the only image of this camera I could find at this link: http://owensarchive.com/war-militaria/world-war-i/aviation/cat_174.html I appreciate your interest.
