Dear Graflex org,

Please bear with a this novice. I could search for
days in you literature and not find the answer that
I'm sure someone at you organization could answer in
just a few minutes. Thanks.

I own a photography studio in a small town of 7000. It
is my desire to acquire one the these awesome cameras
to use for local events and news worthy photos. Can
you suggest one to meet my needs? In my studio, I use
a Mamiya RB67. For newspaper publishing I want
something fast perhaps a Polaroid back. For others, I
could use 120 film, I suppose.

Again, I must plead my ignorance. What do you use for
flash? Are the original attachments still functional?
Or is there a more modern solution? I recall several
years ago using a reflector/bulb type flash. I think
it was a Norman. Can the cameras accomodate newer
flashes? What are you suggestions?

Thank you for your time and patience. This is a great
website.

Sincerely,
SuZan Brakebill Cole
PS. How I envy you all that got to use these awesome
cameras in their heyday. I'm 35 and missed it all.
