Mentor Goltz & Breutmann Mentor Reflex

{"overview":"The Mentor Reflex is a German single-lens reflex plate camera produced by Goltz & Breutmann of Dresden in the early twentieth century. Condition of the shutter curtains, completeness of plate holders, and the state of the leather covering have historically driven the wide spread in what examples sell for at saleroom level.","buying_guide":"Common faults on a camera of this age include brittle or pinholed cloth shutter curtains, delaminating reflex mirrors, lifting body leather, and missing plate holders or ground-glass backs. Inspect the viewing hood for light leaks, check shutter speeds across the range, and confirm the lens and its board match the original fitting.
