Military Graflex and Graphic cameras Individual cameras Graflex had a very healthy relationship with the US Armed Forces right from the early 1900s (see the Graflex History link to the left). This relationship continued until the mid 1970s when Graflex ceased business. While most of the Graflex military cameras were based around the Speed Graphic in its various guises Graflex SLR cameras were also supplied, along with a couple of specialised 'Combat' cameras, the all wood 4x5" Combat Graphic and the giant titanium 70mm rangefinder Combat Graflex.

Military Graflex and Graphic cameras (Camera Sets) Many of the military Speed Graphic and other Graflex made cameras were supplied in complete outfits ('Camera Sets') which included the camera, main flash, extension flash, reflectors, film holders and film pack adapters, filters sets, tripod, etc. Most of these outfits are incredibly heavy which explains why land based photographers almost always had access to a Jeep!
