Graphic View Series

Graflex produced three view cameras, the Crown View, the Graphic View and the Graphic View II. In their day, they were used by Berenice Abbot and O Winston Link.

The Graflex XL

The XL camera series was the last Graflex produced. The design was a radical departure from the Speed Graphic series, and the camera never gained popularity in its era. Now, the XL commands a premium, mostly because of its high-quality lenses.
