PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE ORDERING

To make this niche project possible, all items are MADE TO ORDER using on-demand manufacturing technology. Once your order is placed it cannot be canceled and cannot be returned under any circumstances.

MODIFICATION REQUIRED

NONE: If your Graflex camera body is in good condition and has a standard clip-on pop-up hood (as pictured) then it should fit snuggly and securely without any modification to your camera. If you have any doubt, email us BEFORE YOU ORDER. 

GROUND GLASS

The adapter CAN be used with your existing ground glass, but if you intend to use the adapter to shoot digital stills or video with your 4x5 you may wish to replace your existing ground glass with one of our proprietary ObscuraFlex™ focusing screens for a more even, less grainy, and less vignetted result. See comparison pictures on this page or go here for a more detailed explanation

PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS

Similar to shooting low ASA film, this adapter requires plenty of light to produce the best quality images. A wide open high quality 4x5 lens should function well in good light. Depending on the capabilities of specific smartphone models, good results may also be possible with high ISO settings and/or extended exposure times in less ideal lighting scenarios.

  • Low light photography is not recommended.
  • Flash sync photography is not currently possible.

COMPATIBILITY

This adapter has been extensively tested on Graflex 4x5 Pacemaker Speed and Crown Graphics made from 1947 to 1970s. Not sure your camera is compatible? Please check the pictures to compare your camera and ground glass back to the one shown. If you have any doubt, email us BEFORE YOU ORDER.
