What it is
{"overview":"The Busch Pressman is a press-type folding camera associated with mid-20th-century news and commercial photography. Today the model sells for modest sums at saleroom level, and what a given example is worth depends heavily on the condition of the bellows, shutter and ground glass; the headline value can shift sharply once a working lens and film holders are included.","buying_guide":"Inspect the bellows for pinholes, check that the shutter fires accurately at all marked speeds, and confirm the ground glass and film-holder back are intact and light-tight.
