Hey everyone, it's taken me forever to decide which camera I'm purchasing. I wanted a field camera, maybe a wooden one, but for my price point it's just not happening. So after reading a couple articles on the internet, I've gone with the Busch Pressman. It's got most of the movements I need, save for the back tilt, which I've already got a nice tripod to counteract.
But the one I've found has a lens that's got a lot of problems, so I'm wondering what to do from here. I don't care for the rangefinder coupling, since I'm all about using this thing as much like a field camera as possible. So is there any way I can remove the lens from the board and re-use it? In addition, I'm looking for a 135mm lens (I've already heard the Nikkor-W works well) that would be compatible enough with the Pressman D so it could close and work perfectly.
I've found extra lens boards ( http://mpex.com/busch-0-4x5-lens-board.html ) that I assume will fit with a new lens, but am not sure where to go from here.
Thanks so much for your time!
