With the change in technology, today’s digital cameras look a lot different than this Speed Graphic camera which was produced by Graflex from 1912 to 1973. This camera was the standard equipment for many American press photographers until the mid-1960s. AP photographer Joe Rosenthal’s Pultizer prize image of Marines raising the American flag on Iwo Jima in 1945 was taken with the Speed Graphic camera.

Looks like a pretty complicated camera to figure out in those days
