Thanks for the tips, Richard. The lens is a 135mm F4.7 Wollensack
Raptar in a Rapax shutter. After I posted yesterday, I discovered the
shutter speed can't be set faster than 1/200 - the ring just stops
turning. I do have a 135mm Nikkor-W I can use temporarily. The range
finder's a Kalart, the camera serial number is D-112254.
I had a Busch Pressman D for many years and the only thing that
eventually pried it from my hands was a Linhof Technika. I built the
lensboards for it from two layers of hobby shop sheet aluminum epoxied
together. Its original lens was a 135mm Culminar which was very
satisfactory. Its final kit included a 90mm Angulon, a 150mm Symmar-S
and a 210mm Geronon, all of which with the camera fit in a very small bag.
