NFM Closet Cleaning
Oh! A Super neat old medium format view/press camera: Busch Pressman 2-1/4x3-1/4, along with a Heiland flash in great shape (the original Light Sabre was made from one of these!).
Everything works. The camera's in lovely shape, with smooth motions, rangefinder coupling (RF windows need cleaning but I do believe it's functioning and with correct lens). Everything locks down tight and the bellows seem to be tight and supple, not creased or buckled. Shutter seems to operate right (to my ear) and the glass is clean and clear. The rollfilm adapter is a wonderful piece of mechanical stuffness. I think you could load this thing up with film today, get some batteries and bulbs for the flash, and to make like Weegee tonight.
