Item description: The camera is only 13.8 cm long, 6.5 cm wide, 9 cm high and weighs 935 grams. It consists of an outer housing that covers the inner camera and can be removed to insert 120 film. The camera controls and the viewing hood are covered by a hinged cover with a hole; when closed, only the numbers on the shutter button are visible. The film format is 10 negatives 2 ¼ x 2 ½ inches.
It is a distinctive American 120 roll film single-lens reflex camera with self-erecting lens hood, hinged lens door and lid, manufactured by Folmer Graflex Corporation-Rochester, NY. When closed it looks like a lunch box, when open it shows all of its beautiful shiny manual controls. Like almost all SLR cameras of the time, the National is equipped with a focal plane shutter that moves horizontally from left to right. In fact, the shutter consists of two independently controlled blinds, creating an adjustable vertical gap. Unlike the National, all other focal plane shutter cameras manufactured by Graflex featured a long rubberized fabric focal plane shutter with 4 or 5 fixed horizontal slits of various sizes built into it. The variable national slot of the focal plane shutter should be adjusted after winding. The corresponding number is on the shutter speed label on the back of the lens hood. There are up to 9 different settings from 1/30 to 1/500 sec.
The National Graflex was marketed as a camera more or less suitable for women, probably because of its small size. However, the National was a miniature, all-purpose camera capable of the most precise photographic feats, albeit not easy for the amateur photographer to use due to its complicated shutter setting protocol. On the other hand, the National camera has numerous functions such as direct full-view focusing through the mirror and the ground glass. A well-functioning, built-in folding magnifier is also part of the standard equipment.
