[LargeFormat] 5x7 Graflex...

[tripspud]

Hi Ole!

        I've just bought a Graflex 5x7 single lens reflex camera:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2969297697&category=11720

     It looks like the back takes 5x7 film holders and not the earlier plates.  I
hope the
groundglass back is there, it kind of looks like it, but hard to tell.

     Any help on this appreciated!   Isn't another list member restoring one of
these
large 5x7 Graflexes?

Thanks!
