Hello all...
Santa helpers delivered this Bush Pressman (2 1/4 x 3 1/4 or 6x9) and supposed t o be for display... but it begs me to give it a test drive since I'm a 4x5 and m edium format user...I would like to have some help on this camera. 1. Are 6x9 sheet film still available? (reading archives.. Ilford still make it but the store I called told me that Ilford only make it in HP5..on special order and I like to have FP4+)... 2. The camera has a range finder working fine and line up nicely in vetical (up and down) but.. in horizontal it was off and not matching. Is there something to adjust by myself... or forget the thing and use the ground glass? 3. the camera has a 101mm f4.5 Wollensak lens.. is there a way to open the shutt er (for focusing) beside to put it on B. ? 4. What other lens for this camera..?
thank you all....and Happy New Year !
