The Kalart Press Camera was made from 1948 o 1953 [1] by the Kalart Company in New York City. It was designed by Edward K. Kaprelian.
Unusually it had two viewfinders with superimposed rangefinders so that you could use either eye. The f/4.5 127mm Wollensak lens came in a Rapax X-sync shutter.
The spring back took conventional double film holders for 3¼×4¼ inch exposures. With Kalart film holder a special mechanism helped to reduce film holder handling procedure faults. Another feature was its electric double exposure prevention circuit.
The folding bed camera had a double extension bellows, a front standart allowing lens shifts, and a tiltable folding bed.
