The GRAFLEX Single Lens Reflex at Work ...

1. As you look into the focusing hood you see on the ground glass, up to the instant of exposure, a brilliant, reflected image, right side-up and full picture size, revealing exactly the sharpness of focus and composition of the subject matter that will be recorded on the film. 2. When the pleasingly composed image is clear on the ground glass, the subject is in sharp focus. 3. The mirror reflects the image to the ground glass. When the exposure release is pressed, the mirror swings upward out of the way, instantly releasing the focal plane shutter-securing the desired picture. 4. Focusing is under convenient, positive control to the very instant of exposure. 5. Superior lens gathers ample light for the focal­ plane shutter, which transmits appreciably more light than does any other type of shutter. Since the lens through which you focused is the lens which makes the picture, it entirely elim­ inates any problem of parallax. 2U. x 3U. REVOLVING BACK
