Toronto. Ken Metcalf of Graflex History fame down in North Carolina, wrote me recently saying in part, “… Pacific Rim does have a lot of Graflex catalogs and other literature. …”. Be patient, these are large files. A slowish server link or computer takes a bit of time to load all pages.
Those of you who collect cameras would do well to add one or more of the famous Graphic/Graflex cameras to your collection. For those unfamiliar with the name, the cameras are large/medium format models made in the USA and favoured in the day by news reporters.
Around the WW2 period, the cameras often sported a flash gun making the camera and flash an icon for news photography. Here is an example from the UK. Type weegee in the search bar (above right) for more posts on this famous NYC denizen.
