The European pre-war press cameras were very often of
the strut folding type like the German Goerz and Plaubel Makina II on the left pictures.
The right picture shows the heavy high sophisticated British Vanneck strut
folding press camera.
Some other were roll film reflex cameras and
plate or sheet film reflex cameras some of them equipped with a focal plane shutter.
Please make a choice out of some famous vintage European press cameras on the site map.
