GRAFLEX 



The camera that uses all the light there is. 



The illustrations above are reproduced from actual photographs, made at the Kodak 

 Research Laboratory, of the light projected by a lens through a Graflex Focal Plane Shutter, and 

 a between-lens shutter. The upper illustration shows that with the Graflex Focal Plane Shutter 

 there is no diminishing of the volume of light due to the opening and closing of the shutter. 

 The lens works at its full efficiency during the entire period of exposure. The lower cut shows 

 how a between-lens shutter, when making fast exposures, uses up most of the exposure period in 

 opening and closing, allowing the lens to work at its full efficiency during but a small fraction of 

 the exposure. 



This is why the Graflex Focal Plane Shutter allows more light to reach the plate or film 

 during the interval of exposure than any other shutter. 



Because of its Focal Plane Shutter, its high speed lenses and 

 the mirror system that shows the full image, right side up, at the 

 very instant of exposure, the Graflex is the camera that does the 

 difficult things in photography and does them well. 



The Graflex catalogue — free at your dealer's or by mail — 

 gives all the details.
