Hey,
Im trying to figure out what this camera is from an ebay listing. I've figured out what the others are, but im unsure about that one.

Any ideas?
Thanks!

Looks like a Graphic 35.

Graphic 35 (by Graflex)? I think it's written on the front.

Yeah thats the one.

Thanks for the help!

If you want something different, that's the one to get.

What is the XA type camera with the peg like shutter release behind the XA type in front that has a normal red/soft shutter release.
I've never seen an XA type camera with a shutter release other than the red/soft release.

It's an XA1. No battery (selenium cell meter), so it has a mechanical shutter release.

THe Graphic 35 is an interesting piece tht lever front left is the shutter release and it is built-in camera shake ! The focusing is unique; the button just above the release and the other matching one the the right! I used it twice ! Lens was mediocre performer. The RF must have been OK I can'T rememebr how that was!

Thanks Q.G., I have two XA's and one XA2. The XA1 and XA4 seem rare. This is a good source of information XA types.
