Mentor Goltz & Breutmann: Mentor Studio Reflex 9x12 + 9 casettes + one 9x12 sheet film insert
Camera seems working - I did a quick test on RC paper (on 'Z' setting) and it turned out OK. I can cock the shutter, fire it and curtains seems to react to time selected. Shutter is in nice condition, no holes (please see pictures). Bellows ok, no dam...age at all, no holes. Mirrors ok - no scratches, but shows signs of age (black dot here and there). Both ground glasses - top and back (screens) fine, plain glass but nice & no scratches. I am not familiar with other operation. Some cosmetic defects on the top leatherette (see pics) & it's like decades old (needing probably CLA), therefore selling as is, no returns.
Lens in very nice condition, almost looking like new (sorry for specs of dust in the pictures). No haze, no fungus, no dents, no scratches. Front element has one almost invisible cleaning mark (I was not able to make a picture of it), rear is totally untouched. Aperture (with many blades) working fine, no oil, no rust.
Casettes are wooden, and for glass negatives. 7 are in fine condition, 2 are a bit damaged (one side only). I've found one 9x12 cm metal sheet insert for film, and one glass negative (was originally in the camera) - so maybe some reference for DIY work.
I am happy to answer any questions, and I think this can be great camera for studio portraits after some renovation. Looks very solid.
I ship worldwide registered mail from Slovakia, this is heavy and big (over 6kg) so shipping cost is estimated at $65 for 1st class (with tracking to some countries - the price & services varies for each country, Europe is a bit cheaper). For exact price please ask before buying. No return for this item, as is listing.
