One good thing about bulbs: the Graflex flashgun fitting the Speed
Graphic camera had a neat bulb ejector for #5 bulbs in the reflector
socket. With it you could loft used bulbs up to 7 feet (2 meters) into
a wastebasket, which I did often while sitting around the office.
George Lucus's FX department supposedly made great use of the Speed Graphic
flash guns too...without the reflector, they were the basis for the first
'Light Sabres' that Jedi Knights carried in the original Star Wars epics!
When I was an Army Photog in the 80s, I used a "Combat Graphic" that we
found in the bottom of an old wall locker for an occasional assignment, but
we rigged it to use a Metz 45CT-1.
