Hey yay all i posted this in the photography section too but thought that I would put it here. I just found in one of my old sheds on the property 2 working Graflex cameras. One is a Speed graphic with a bunch of film plates (with film still in them from the 50's and the other is a R B series D i believe from 1923. Both are still in great working order. They focus beautifully on the ground glass and the focal plane shutters are in great shape and work flawlessly. Now I just need to find some film for it and get to taking some pictures and learning how to use these beautiful cameras. If any of ya all have any pointers I would greatly appreciate it. I am kinda working backwards i started with an upper end digital then to a 35 mm canon rebel g and now i am going back in time. I love it

You got your hands on some nice cameras. Take 'em out so we can see how they perform! I'd like to see the scans from those puppies.

i need to get some film for them and learn how they work I want to shoot with them so bad I can taste it. I am working backwards i started with digital and went to film 35 mm and now to large format and it is all very foreign to me. I will get some film and get in business here in the next couple of days.

I don't know if you've seen these websites yet, but they're good places in which to dig around:
