No all-wood view cameras here, except the interesting No 0 Graphic Enlarging Camera (p. 35), made to use the lens of the No. 0 Graphic Camera (pp. 32-34) to make enlargements up to 6 1/2" x 8 1/2" from its 1 5/8" x 2 1/2" film. Other interesting cameras are the Naturalist's Graphic (p. 36) having a long bellows and equally long focal length lens for close-up photos of wildlife, the top handle Speed Graphic (p. 40), and the Circuit Camera (pp. 44-45), a camera and tripod outfit that has a spring-loaded motorized tripod pan combined with a motorized film transport to produce negatives up to eight feet long. Most of the cameras feature a built-in focal plane shutter, and those that don't often can use the accessory Graflex Focal Plane Shutter (pp. 46-47).
