What it is
{"overview":"The Bentzin Focal Primar, also known as the Klapp Primar, is a German folding plate camera produced by Curt Bentzin of Görlitz in the early twentieth century. On that limited evidence, today a clean working example is worth somewhere in that vicinity, though a wider price range is likely once more results surface.","buying_guide":"On any folding plate camera of this age, inspect the bellows for pinholes, check the shutter for sticky slow speeds, and confirm the focusing mechanism and struts lock firmly.
