Two different models were produced in a few different sizes: The fixed back Graflex Series B was available in 3¼x4¼, 4x5, and 5x7; the Revolving Back (R.B.) was offered in 2¼x3¼, 3¼x4¼, 4x5. It used plates or film, in a cut film magazine, slotted film holder, or roll film holder. It has a top shutter speed of 1/1000 sec.
