What it is
{"overview":"The Voigtländer & Sohn Spiegelreflex (Mirror Reflex) is an early single-lens reflex plate camera introduced in 1916. Because this is a hammer figure achieved at auction rather than a dealer retail price, what a comparable example actually sells for in 2026 will hinge heavily on bellows condition, shutter function and completeness of the focusing hood and plate holders.","buying_guide":"On any century-old reflex of this type, inspect the leather bellows for pinholes, check the mirror silvering, and confirm the focal-plane shutter still travels at more than one speed.

Questions
Why is the price so condition-sensitive?
On a 1916 reflex, bellows integrity, shutter operation and mirror condition are the main drivers of value, and examples missing plate holders or with non-working shutters sell for substantially less than complete, functional ones.
