The Graflex Series B was an SLR produced by Folmer & Schwing from 1923–1951. 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. The Graflex Series B was the lower price offering for the graflex SLR lineup throughout the 20's and 30's, with the 2¼x3¼ size remaining in production into the 50's. Series B cameras are distinguished by their lack of dedicated lensboard and front standard, instead having a metal bracket with threading to accept a barrel lens. Some models had several lenses available for them. The 2¼x3¼ size camera can make use of the Graflex 22 and 23 roll film holders produced later. (The graphic type will not fit without modification.)
