Adams Minex Tropical

{"overview":"The Adams Minex Tropical is a British-made reflex plate camera produced by Adams & Co. of London in the early twentieth century. Condition of the teak, brass, bellows and shutter is the single biggest price driver, and cameras supplied with original lens and plate holders consistently fetch more than stripped bodies.","buying_guide":"Inspect the teak body for cracks, splits or shrinkage around the corners, and check that the brass fittings are free of deep pitting or replacement screws. The focal-plane shutter should run at all speeds without binding, the rubberised blind should be light-tight (often the first part to fail with age), and the bellows and reflex mirror should be intact.
