Before fancy DSLRs, sports photographers used the Graflex “Big Bertha” to capture action shots at events. This massive 120-pound camera snapped 5 x 7 photos, and were quite the hassle to transport.
Apparently, the Graflexes have limited shutter speeds mainly because the tension springs get worn with age. He was able to shoot at 650/sec at f8, while the lens itself has a focal length of 1000mm.
