Dallmeyer (J.H.) Special Press Reflex

The Dallmeyer Special Press Reflex is a British single-lens reflex press camera made by J.H. Dallmeyer of London. It was a plate-format SLR aimed at professional press photographers, of a type produced in the early decades of the twentieth century before the rise of smaller-format press cameras.

At UK auction today, hammer prices for the Special Press Reflex have been modest, with the two recorded sales settling between £50 and £60 (median around £55). With so few wholesale saleroom results to draw on, what a Dallmeyer Special Press Reflex sells for varies heavily with cosmetic condition, completeness of the bellows and lens, and whether the original leather covering is intact.
