Graflex XL info needed
« on: October 04, 2014, 06:59:20 pm »

I have recently acquired a Graflex XL camera. It has a Zeiss 100mm f2.8 Planar lens with a 2x3 Singer focusing panel. It also came with a 3x4 Polaroid back. My questions are:
1) Does anyone on this forum have one of these and use it?
2) Is there Polaroid film still available for this camera? If so where can I buy some?
3) Is it possible to attach a digital back to the camera?

I would love to start shooting with this. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Chuck.

3x4 is regular packfilm, also called peel-apart film.  Fuji FP-100C is still available:

Fuji FP-3000B was recently discontinued but it is still available albeit at higher prices:

You can obviously also buy expired Polaroid film on eBay...
