"G" is for Graphic: The Graphic 35 from Graflex
The Speed Graphic from Graflex is a camera that recalls the past. This was a common press camera, that took images on large plates.
Of course "Speed Graphic" begins with an 's,' so it shouldn't go under 'g.' However, we do have a Graphic 35. This is a coupled rangefinder camera for 35mm film.
The Graphic 35 was manufactured from 1955 to 1957. The black buttons on either side of the lens are the focus.
Because I mentioned the Speed Graphic...Here is an early Speed Graphic and a close-up of its lens. Manufactured from 1912 to 1927.
