A Graflex focusing screen is a key component in large format photography, particularly associated with Graflex cameras, such as those used in press photography in the mid-20th century.
The focusing screen is a ground glass plate positioned at the focal plane of the camera. It serves as the surface upon which the photographer visually focuses the image. The image projected by the camera lens onto the focusing screen appears inverted and reversed, but it allows the photographer to achieve precise focus and composition.
Graflex focusing screens were renowned for their clarity and brightness, aiding photographers in achieving accurate focus and composing their shots effectively. These screens often featured a grid pattern or other focusing aids to assist photographers in aligning their compositions.
While modern digital cameras have largely replaced large format cameras in professional photography, Graflex focusing screens remain highly regarded among collectors and photographers who appreciate the craftsmanship and history of analog photography.
