The Graflex speed Graphic camera has a built in focal plane shutter, making it suitable for use with shutterless lenses (barrel lenses) like the high speed Aero Ektar 178mm F2.5 its paired with, or when high shutter speeds are needed. This camera also has a built in rangefinder.
This is a newer "special" speed graphic, which comes pre-installed with the rare 8" RF focusing cam, the closest cam available for the Aero Ektar. Its not a perfect match, but offers excellent RF focusing capability with this camera.
