Printex Press Camera Large format camera

Regarding a Printex Pers camera (6x9 cm).

After 'spinning up' the camera, using the button below the battery flashes, the camera can be operated via the cable release that runs from the battery flashes to the shutter. To do this, press the button on the battery flashes, which causes the shutter and flash to fire simultaneously.
The operation of the cable tensioner, which is present on this device, is somewhat heavy, and it is also important to adjust the small screws visible at the bottom of the flash battery correctly.

I tested the various functions of the camera and flash without using the cable release that comes with the device. The flash works well (see the last photo; white lamp used). The shutter functions excellently with a separate cable release. The rangefinder is clear and accurate. The Wollensak lens (101mm 1:4.5) is good. No fungus, haze, or scratches. The matte glass is also good. (However, the cloth that covers the matte glass at the sides of the lid, which also covers the lid and prevents it from opening too far, is no longer present.)

In summary, a camera with flash whose functions have been tested. The cable release needs to be made more flexible and properly adjusted.
