Want to Buy Mentor Reflex or Mentor Studio Reflex (9x12 or 5x7)

[blee1996]

I'm looking for a working Mentor Reflex or Mentor Studio Reflex (9x12 or 5x7). It was one of those large format SLR with a focal plane shutter. Lens is optional, as long as the focal plane shutter is working properly. I'm based in Northern California. Thank you!

Have you looked on ebay.de?

I did, but my German are minimal. Plus the tariff from EU is a bit stiff right now.

Postage EU/UK to the US/Canada, and vice versa, is also extremely expensive these days/

There are other large format SLR options, I have many in my restoration pile. Largest is a Thornton Pickard whole plate Ruby Reflex, that 8.5" x 6.5", and I have quite a few 5x4.

I can't speak German, just find a Mentor on eBay.com from Germany, then change the .com tilde to .de and refresh, and you will see everything in German. You can cut & paste to do a German language search.

IT's definitely worthwhile, I have bought a lot that way over the last 20+ years.
