Graflex Pacemaker 4x5 Crown Graphic Top Rangefinder Film Camera


This is as clean an example of this iconic American Camera I have ever seen. It obviously has not been used much, if at all. No scratches scrapes gouges smudges. No worn spots on the leather, especially noticeable on the drop bed button, which is always worn.

Everything works. I have not calibrated the Rangefinder so don’t know if it is accurate. I do not know if the Rangelight works. I expect it would but I think there are issues with getting a battery for it. The body shutter release works. The bed drops, Shift, Rise and Tilt all work smoothly. The ground glass hood pops up sprightly. 


The lens is clean with no issues.  It is a Schneider-Kreuznach Xenar 135mm f4.7 in a Compur-P shutter. The speeds sound good, but the camera and lens is close to 60 years old, and has not been used since I have had it at least, so accuracy is questionable. I have had the camera for 19 years


The top mounted Rangefinder was introduced in the late 50’s and made until 1973.. This particular camera was made in August of 1962. This information comes from graflex.org


The last photograph shows my collection of Crown Graphics, all of which I am selling. The 4x5 is my best one. This auction is for ONE (1) camera, the the Graflex 4x5 Crown Graphic.
