I'm completely new to LF, but am considering buying a Busch Pressman off a friend of a friend to get started. It seems to be in excellent condition overall, and I'm not concerned about the quality of the camera. Price seems to be in keeping with I would expect based on ebay etc.
My photographic area of interest is in interior architectural photography (of abandoned buildings, like the photo below). Currently, I shoot in the 20-35mm (35mm terms) angle range, and I'm a big concerned about getting similar width on the Pressman. I have access to an excellent lens rental shop here in Toronto, but they don't stock Pressman lensboards. I haven't been able to find a place online that currently sells them. Any suggestions?
Also, does this camera take any old 4x5 film holder? Or are there different kinds I need to be aware of.
I think that's it for now :-)
Thanks,
Sean
