|

I have in my possession a "Slide Type 2 for 5x7 Roll Holder", Cat. No. 1689. Graflex, Inc.
NOS, sealed in the original Graflex manila envelope.
Can anybody tell me what this is/was for?
If anyone needs it, PM me. |

If the envelope is roughly 5x7 to 6x8 then its a darkslide for a #54 5x7 Graflex roll film holder. _________________ The best camera ever made is the one that YOU enjoy using and produces the image quality that satifies YOU. |

The sealed envelope measures 6 1/2" x 9 1/2"...probably close enough?
Any idea what camera would this have been used with?
Thanks for the info! |

Likely any Graflex 5x7 SLR o Graphic 5X7 WITH A Graflex back.
First seen in catalogs around 1915, first seen on page 54 of this catalog
http://piercevaubel.com/cam/catalogs/1915graflexlp592.htm
and continues for several years.
It could be a replacement darkslide for a standard 5x7 film or 5x7 plate holder.
The darkslides were not standardized the roll film holder, double sided sheet film holder, or the plate holder. _________________ The best camera ever made is the one that YOU enjoy using and produces the image quality that satifies YOU. |

Aha!
Thank you for the link, that helps a lot.
Good to get a visual.... I had visions of something along the lines of a WWII aerial camera back.
Cheers! |

I gave the slide to a Graflex collector...but it got me to wondering...
Is there a Graflex museum?
It seems like there should be! |
