Biographical / Historical
The Century Graphic is a cost-reduced Miniature Pacemaker Crown Graphic, made of ``Mahoganite,'' which is a kind of plastic. It comes with the highly-desirable Graflok back molded in as an integral part of the case. It also lacks a body-mounted shutter release, and is often found with a second-grade lens, such as a triplet, instead of the Tessar type lenses found on the miniature Speed/Crown Graphics.
