The camera looks like a black box with a handle on the top, and some knobs and levers on the sides. The camera opens up into a larger 5x7 format camera. This type of camera would have been used to produce cabinet cards popular in the late 19th- earlier 20th centuries.

The standard lens of Series D Graflex is a Kodak Anastigmat F4.5, the lens board was removable, other special purpose lenses were used.The Revolving Back was utilised with roll film, cut film, packs, or plates. Twenty-five exposure speeds, up 1/1000 second, plus Time, are under accurate control with the Graflex focal plane shutter. And focusing is excellent with the hooded ground glass. The Series D Graflex was made in two models, 31/4 x41/4in and 4x5in.
