What it is
{"overview":"The Mentor Dreivier is a small-format reflex camera produced in Dresden by Goltz & Breutmann. The spread is wide because condition, completeness of plate holders and accessories, and variant differences drive what each example sells for — a clean, working body with original fittings is worth considerably more in 2026 than a tired example offered as a display piece.","buying_guide":"Inspect the focal-plane shutter cloth for pinholes and delamination, check that the reflex mirror is not fogged or detached, and verify the ground glass and viewing hood are intact.
