[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 98834, member: 10543"] I wasn't sure where to post this, so I put it here. My child has a strong interest in photography and when this Graflex 22 was found in Grandma's attic this morning, there was great excitement. My D5100 knelt in respect when it took this photo: [ATTACH=CONFIG]22919._xfImport[/ATTACH] It's in rough shape, but will make a great prop in my child's room. I did a bit of research and this model was made between 1952 and 1956 and uses 120 size film. The camera is held at belly level, the top pops open and the photographer peers down into the top. Top shutter speed is 1/200 Sec., lens is f/3.5 to f/22, it'll focus as close as 3 Feet and all is manual set of course. It's not worth much of anything, but it's mighty cool in our book. I guessed it was much older, incorrectly thinking that 35mm had gained universal popularity by the early 1950's, but there must have been a strong following in other film sizes too at that time.
