Press camera information


4x5" Graflex Speed Graphic press camera with optional rangefinder on left, with attached bulb flash.

A press camera is a medium or large format view camera that was predominantly used by press photographers in the early to mid-20th century. It was largely replaced for press photography by 35mm film cameras in the 1960s, and subsequently, by digital cameras. The quintessential press camera was the Speed Graphic.[1] Press cameras are still used as portable and rugged view cameras.
