Marshal Press
Built in the mid 1960s, by Marshal Optical Works, of Japan, the Marshal Press was a design direct from the brain of Mr. Seichi Mamiya. It is a medium format camera that can take either 120 / 220 film.
The design resembles a giant Mamiya Press camera and its coupled rangefinder. It also shows influences of the Mamiya TLRs with its rack and pinion focusing. It uses a permanently mounted 6x9 film back. The lens is a fixed Nikkor-Q 105mm F3.5 in Seikosha shutter. The shutter is not self-cocking, so it has to be set after each exposure. The lens is focused with a thumb wheel above the film back door of the camera. The focus distance is displayed in a window on the right of the body.
I bought this recently on a "whim" and realize that I will probably never use it.
Exterior show some signs of wear on surface, but no major dents or scratches
Film back advance is working
Lens has no haze or fungus, there are some minor cleaning marks on the front element - these should not affect an image
Rangefinder is working fine - image is clear
Camera adjusts rangefinder image for parallax
Weight is 4 pounds 8 ounces
Bellows appears to be in good condition - passed a flash light test
