I am taking a large format photo class next semester. I am really looking forward to it.

Other than eBay, where can we buy a Graflex???

@User98685 I have spotted them in antique stores. If in your area you have any sort of camera shop that takes 2nd hand they may have something.

. . . so thats what film looks like. Been shooting film for about 5 years, never seen it!

I am a Professional Photographer and haven't used a Large Format Camera in years. It is nice to see what you are doing, and even for me it is great for a refresher... Thank You, Sir David

JARED LETO?

Just to clarify, there are 3 different back types - Graphic, Graflex and Graflock. Only the Graflock back will work with pack film and only by entirely removing the ground glass first.

please do another feature on the crown graphic in the future as we would like to learn more about shooting in this format. =) thanks! keep the great work up guys.

[pinkunicornrainbows]

Will the polaroid 500 back work with this specific crown graphic because I have the back and I will be able to purchase the camera soon hopefully. Thanks guys keep up the great work!

SO glad you did this...have my own Crown that I'm am quite befuddled by (my Dad was nice enough to give me one ;-). Was nice to sit with mine and follow along with you. I wonder if my Polaroid 500 back would work with the Fuji film...hmm...

[AnalogSoulPhoto]

I just opened one of the three film holders he gave me with the camera and there was film in it...ugh!!! Luckily, they're marked, but man, I woulda had them stored in the fridge had I known they were loaded. So now I have at least five shots ;-) I read something about someone processing 4x5 in a Paterson tank...may have to look into that.

@AnalogSoulPhoto Polaroid 500 backs will absolutely work with Fuji FP-100C 45 film!

[mat4226]

@AnalogSoulPhoto After a bit of research, the 500 backs will sometimes have problems with the current film. The better suggestion is to look for the newer Polaroid 550 back.

[damens]

@mat4226 He wasn't asking whether the film would fit into the holder (which it obviously will), he was asking if the holder will fit into the Crown Graphic - and the answer is probably not, as only late models have sufficient "travel" in the sprung ground glass to fit a pack film holder under.

please do more video on large format photography :))))))

I like to keep things classy when recording FPP stuff. :p
