The '''Home Portrait Graflex''' was an [[SLR]] produced by [[Graflex]] from 1912–1942. It used 5x7 plates or film, in a cut film magazine, slotted film holder, or roll film holder. It has a top shutter speed of 1/500 sec. The Home Portrait Graflex was one of three 5x7 camera graflex would offer in it's lineup, and likely one of the last to be retired. It can be found with a feature that many other graflex cameras lack: a front swing for perspective correction. The Home Portrait Graflex was also particularly popular for conversion into "Long Toms" or "Big Berthas" for sports photography. This was done by mounting a special telephoto lens on a bracket to support the weight of the lens and camera. | The '''Home Portrait Graflex''' was an [[SLR]] produced by [[Graflex]] from 1912–1942.

The Home Portrait Graflex was an SLR produced by Graflex from 1912–1942. It used 5x7 plates or film, in a cut film magazine, slotted film holder, or roll film holder. It has a top shutter speed of 1/500 sec. The Home Portrait Graflex was one of three 5x7 camera graflex would offer in it's lineup, and likely one of the last to be retired. It can be found with a feature that many other graflex cameras lack: a front swing for perspective correction. The Home Portrait Graflex was also particularly popular for conversion into "Long Toms" or "Big Berthas" for sports photography. This was done by mounting a special telephoto lens on a bracket to support the weight of the lens and camera.
