What it is

{"overview":"The Mentor Nachtreflex (Night Reflex) is a German-made large-format SLR plate camera produced by Goltz & Breutmann of Dresden, designed for low-light photography with an unusually fast f1.9 lens. As of today the model trades thinly at auction level, so what a given example is worth and sells for depends heavily on completeness, the condition of the fast lens and shutter, and provenance; those are wholesale hammer levels rather than retail dealer prices.","buying_guide":"Inspect the reflex mirror, bellows and focal-plane shutter curtains for light leaks and stiffness, and check that the fast lens is clean, uncoated-clear and free of separation.
