The speed graphic with it's 4 by 5 negative was the normal for back then and produced excellent sharp cleat photos. It all depended on what lens you had too as the Kodak ektar a great choice. The man on the right of the guy with the graphic had the argus c-3 with it's coke bottle lens was affordable but no equal to the graphic. The Nikon F series took the place of the graphic years later with it's great sharp lenses. The only rival to the Nikon was the Lecia M series which are very costly but the best in the world and I thought I would NEVER own one and lucked into a M-4 I could afford. Now it is all digital

Compare the clunky Speed Graphic press camera to today's iPhone camera!
