"jjs" wrote in message ... FYI: file under Strange 4x5 Camera category http://elearning.winona.edu/jjs/pri/ A Printex camera. I think they were made in Los Angeles. This was one of a great many small companies started up after WW-2. Some were new companies, some were small companies who's war contracts came to an end and were looking for something to make. Most of these outfits did not survive but some of the products were quite innovative. The Printex was offered as a low cost "press camera". A search of photography magazines of the late 1940's will find ads for it and other short lived stuff. -- --- Richard Knoppow Los Angeles, CA, USA |

The Printex came in at least two models, 4x5 and 2x3 and had an all metal cast
type body. The lense focuses via a gear arrangement that moves the lense in and out of the metal barrel on the front of the camera. (The silver knob below the lense .) The focusing knob had a dial pointer which indicated the focus at so many feet. This was similar to the focus scales found on Graphic press cameras. Dave |
