Bentzin Reflex Primar
The Bentzin Reflex Primar is a German-made single-lens reflex camera from the early-to-mid twentieth century, produced by the Dresden maker Bentzin for plate and roll-film photography. It was positioned as a working SLR for serious amateur and professional users in its day.
Today the Reflex Primar is a thin market: the only verified UK auction hammer result on file is £56 (April 2025), and that wholesale, saleroom-level figure is the clearest guide to what one is currently worth. With a single data point, anything outside roughly that price should be treated as condition- or completeness-driven rather than typical, and buyers should expect values to swing sharply with shutter health and the presence of a usable lens.
