Re: Inexpensive 70mm cameras

Graflex and various others made 70mm backs for 4x5 cameras, note
that they will not fit all Speed Graphics. Most fit the Graflok 
back which is not usually found on the $100 Speed Graphics. 

Another cheap and excellent way into 70mm is to find a surplus
aerial camera such as the KE-28. Sometimes these go for as little
as $75 and take 50 foot spools (darkroom loading only), be sure
you get some with the camera, or count on needing to scrounge some
more. The KE-28 is a 70mm point-and-shoot, fixed focus at infinity.
The standard lens is 150 mm f/2.8 and very sharp. There is a focal
plane shutter from 1/30 to 1/1000.
