Info on Busch Pressman Model D 4x5 in Large Format Posted June 29, 2001 Hi all, Lens boards for the Pressman are a snap to make. Go to a hobby shop and get some .015 aluminum stock (like 4 inches wide). Cut out a piece the shape of the board holder opening and a second piece about 2 and a half inches across with the same rounded corners and a projection on the top edge about a half inch long and a quarter inch high. Fold the projection 90 degrees in a vise, epoxy the two pieces together, slip the board in the camera and mark the projection with the hold-down screw, and drill a small hole on the mark. Spray with flat black enamel. Presto, one blank board that looks like an original.

Hi all,
Lens boards for the Pressman are a snap to make. Go to a hobby shop
and get some .015 aluminum stock (like 4 inches wide). Cut out a
piece the shape of the board holder opening and a second piece about 2
and a half inches across with the same rounded corners and a
projection on the top edge about a half inch long and a quarter inch
high. Fold the projection 90 degrees in a vise, epoxy the two pieces
together, slip the board in the camera and mark the projection with
the hold-down screw, and drill a small hole on the mark. Spray with
flat black enamel. Presto, one blank board that looks like an
original.
