What it is
{"overview":"The Houghton London Ensign Reflex Model B is a British-made single-lens reflex plate camera produced in the early twentieth century. These are saleroom results — wholesale levels reflecting condition-sensitive demand for early British reflex plate cameras — so a clean, complete example with a working shutter and original back tends to sell for more than a shabby one.","buying_guide":"Inspect the leather bellows for light leaks and pinholes, check that the reflex mirror rises cleanly and the focal-plane shutter runs at all marked tensions, and confirm the ground-glass back and plate holders are present.

Questions
Is the Ensign Reflex Model B a good user camera?
It is collectable rather than practical — the plate format, aged bellows and lack of service support mean its price reflects display and historical value rather than day-to-day shooting use.
