The Graflex Compact Graphic is a 3¼×5½ reflex camera made by Graflex in the U.S from 1915 to 1925. It has a top shutter speed of 1/1000 sec. The Compact Graflex represents a departure from Graflex's earlier SLR designs. It uses a drop bed like the rollfilm Graflex 1A and 3A and the Auto Graflex, however, unlike those designs, the mirror box is not light tight in the unfolded position, which required the Compact Graflex to have a second curtain. It made use of slotted film holders and filmpacks.
