Graphic cameras were made in 21/4x31/4, 31/4x41/4, 4x5, and 5x7" film sizes, either with (Speed) or without a rear focal plane shutter (Century, Crown, and Super).

Clint Farlinger  |  May 01, 2007

It's not every day that your eyes are opened to a whole new world, but that happened to me in August of 2004.

Although not a photography trip, I took my camera and tripod along...
