What it is

{"overview":"The Krügener Delta in the 9x12 magazine\/detective configuration is an early German plate camera designed for concealed or quick-action use, taking 9x12cm glass plates fed from an internal magazine. As of today in 2026, anyone trying to work out what a Krügener Delta 9x12 magazine\/detective without finders is worth should treat that single saleroom figure as a historical reference point only, not a guide to what the camera sells for now.","buying_guide":"On any magazine-fed plate camera of this era, inspect the plate-changing mechanism for completeness and smooth operation, check the shutter for sluggishness or non-function, and look for woodwork separation, leather lifting, and corrosion on metal fittings.

Questions

Why does this example have no finders, and does it matter for value?

The listing specifically notes the camera is supplied without finders, which on a detective-style camera reduces usability and collector appeal and would typically lower the price compared with a complete example.
