Busch Pressman 6x9

[ericB&W]

I'm not very expert about old press cameras and i'm looking for something not too expensive that can
fit with a Lomo instax back .
I've found this camera , https://www.ebay.it/itm/364197304349?hash=item54cbd9d81d:g:oHcAAOSwoZhj9Ko4 ,
is a Bush Pressman that seems not too expensive and also in decent condition.
I wanted to know if, in your opinion , can be mounted a Lomo Instax wide back to this camera to take 6x9 pics,
it seems quite similar to a Speed Graphic but i'm not sure if is compatible with the Lomo back, i would not buy something
that will result then unusable also because my enlarger can print max 6x6 format .

The LomoGraflok back fits only 4x5 Graflok backs. Pretty sure you won't find one of those original to a Bush Pressman, though it's surely possible to convert that camera.

The only press cameras I know of that were sold with the Graflok back were Speed and Crown Graphics, starting with the Pacemaker generation.

Ok, i leave it there ,
it's a pity as that camera bellows tilts and shift too,
if i had a large format enlarger i'had buy anyway.

I have both a Speed and Pressman with 6X9 sheet film backs, the other drawback to a Pressman and most Graphics is that although both have limited movements, the Pressman more than the Speed, the lens Optar or Kodak that came fitted to the rangefinder do no cover much in the way of movements. I think a 4X5 or 4 1/4 by X4 bt 3 1/4 X14 Speed or Crown with a graflok back will allow for more movemnts. My Crown has more movements than my Speed.
