Stegemann Spiegelreflex camera (Mirror Reflex)
The Stegemann Spiegelreflex (Mirror Reflex) is an early single-lens reflex plate camera produced by the German maker Stegemann. It belongs to the pre-war SLR class of wooden-bodied reflex cameras that used a hinged mirror and ground-glass viewing for composition.
With only a single documented UK auction hammer result on record — £400 in 2003 — the Stegemann Spiegelreflex has no meaningful current market range to quote, and as of today in 2026 its value at saleroom level remains difficult to pin down. Buyers wondering what the camera is worth or how much one sells for should treat that lone figure as indicative only, since condition, completeness of plate holders, and originality of the bellows heavily influence the price any individual example fetches.
