Grafmatic represents a line of vintage multi-sheet film holders manufactured by Graflex, designed to enable rapid shooting for large format analog cameras.
Grafmatisch is a historic brand of photographic film holders originally produced by Graflex Inc., the American manufacturer famous for the Speed Graphic press cameras. Designed to streamline large format photography, the Grafmatic holder acts as a film magazine capable of holding six individual sheets of film in septums. Its unique pull-and-push mechanism allows photographers to cycle through exposures quickly without the need to swap out traditional double dark slides between every shot.
Although Graflex Inc. ceased operations decades ago, Grafmatic holders remain widely used and cherished by the analog photography community. They are essential tools for photographers seeking portability and speed when using 4x5 or 2x3 large format systems. The manuals and guides preserved here help current users maintain, load, and operate these precision mechanical accessories properly.

The Grafmatic holder is designed to hold six individual sheets of cut film in metal septums.
The holder uses a mechanical pull-and-push action. Pulling the handle out moves the exposed septum to the back of the stack, and pushing it back in brings a fresh unexposed sheet to the front.
Older Grafmatic holders came in two types to fit different camera backs. The 'Graphic' (or Graflok) style fits most modern International backs, while the 'Graflex' style was designed specifically for older Graflex reflex cameras.
