What it is
{"overview":"The Soho Press camera is a press-style plate camera produced under the Soho brand, a name associated with British camera manufacturing in the early-to-mid twentieth century. With just one data point, the price a given example sells for in 2026 will depend heavily on completeness, cosmetic condition and whether the original lens and back are present.","buying_guide":"On any press-style plate camera of this era, inspect the bellows for pinholes, check shutter speeds for accuracy and sticking, and confirm that the ground glass, film\/plate back and any dark slides are present and undamaged.

Questions
Is the Soho Press camera a good buy for users?
