For sale is a Busch Pressman Model C 2-1/4"x3-1/4" camera in very good condition. The body looks great, there are a couple of small rips in the leather on the bottom edges but otherwise things look good. The latch on the back screen cover is broken, if it were my camera I'd use some velcro to fasten it or if you're feeling adventurous you could build a new latch pretty easily. The focusing screen is clean and there is a fresnel installed under the screen for a nice bright view.
The movements are all good, this has shift, tilt back, bed drop and front standard rise, about all you need for most shooting. The lens is a 103mm f/4.5 Prestar which is in good shape, there are some very light cleaning marks on the front element but nothing which would affect your image appreciably. The shutter is in good shape, speeds sound good and the aperture moves smoothly.
Marvelous little camera ready for a new home. I'll keep shooting my 4x5 Pressman.
