Goerz Ango Jagd-Reflex
The Goerz Ango Jagd-Reflex is an early German single-lens reflex camera produced by C.P. Goerz, a Berlin optical manufacturer active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It was a folding plate SLR positioned for action and wildlife use, as suggested by the "Jagd" (hunting) designation in its name.
Sales evidence for the Ango Jagd-Reflex is extremely thin, so any current value figure carries wide uncertainty. The single documented UK auction hammer result on file is £2,500 from 2005, indicating that when a clean example does surface at saleroom level it sells for a substantial sum, but with only one data point a reliable current price range cannot be quoted for 2026.
