Technical

All six of the Pacemaker Graphic Cameras were generally designed and constructed the same way. The Crown and the Speed differ in the fact that the Crown lacks a focal plane shutter that is found only on the Speed model. Later becoming an international standard for 4x5 cameras, the Crown Graphic was the first camera to have a Graflock back. The Crown was one of the most light weight 4x5 cameras of that time. It was extremely popular with the news photography market of the mid-1900's because of its ruggedness, durability, quality and light weight.
