Graflex 22 (Model 400)

The Graflex 22 (Model 400) is a basic press or view camera produced by the American manufacturer Graflex. While sharing the brand name associated with iconic professional models like the Speed Graphic, the Model 400 represents a more simplified and presumably more affordable variant. Characteristic of Graflex's engineering, it likely features a sturdy metal body and a focal plane shutter, making it a practical tool for casual photographers or perhaps junior press work. Its name suggests it might utilize 22-exposure film, common for roll film formats of its era, though the specific format remains undocumented. This camera embodies the utilitarian side of the Graflex catalog, prioritizing functionality over advanced features or groundbreaking design.
