What it is

{"overview":"The Contessa Miroflex is an early 20th-century German plate camera. Because so few examples have come to market, any single sale can shift what a Miroflex sells for, and condition of the bellows, shutter and ground-glass focusing screen drives most of the price variation.","buying_guide":"Inspect the bellows for pinholes and the cloth focal-plane shutter for tears, sticking or uneven travel, as spares for cameras of this age are not manufactured and repairs rely on specialist restorers.

Questions

What affects the price of a Miroflex?
