[[Busch]] of Chicago, USA, designated its 6&times;9 format press camera as the '''Pressman Model C'''. It was available with a separate side-mounted rangefinder, or a top mounted "Busch Vue-Focus" finder with parallax compensation. The Busch models did not offer the the "Graflok" style back of the later [[Graflex]] cameras, and so most 120 rollfilm holders will not fit this camera. However the "Adapt-A-Roll 620" illustrated above will work, as its body is designed to be about the thickness of a standard sheet-film holder.

Press cameras made in the United States of America
Beseler 4×5 Press Camera | Burke & James 4×5 Speed Press | Busch Pressman Model C | Busch Pressman Model D | Graflex Speed Graphic | Kalart Press Camera | Meridian 45A | Meridian 45B | Omega 120 | Printex Press | Rilex | Tower Press Camera


Busch of Chicago, USA, designated its 6×9 format press camera as the Pressman Model C. It was available with a separate side-mounted rangefinder, or a top mounted "Busch Vue-Focus" finder with parallax compensation. The Busch models did not offer the the "Graflok" style back of the later Graflex cameras, and so most 120 rollfilm holders will not fit this camera. However the "Adapt-A-Roll 620" illustrated above will work, as its body is designed to be about the thickness of a standard sheet-film holder.
