The Mentorett is an unusual TLR made by Goltz & Breutmann/Mentor in Dresden. A remarkable feature is the focal plane shutter. Focal plane shutters are uncommon in TLRs. The Mentorett, together with the Foth-flex is one of the very few to use this type of shutter.


Interesting features

Apart from the focal plane shutter, its most significant detail was the lever that was film advance lever, shutter cocking device and shutter release in one. With this feature it was possible to achieve a high exposure frequency. 55.000 pieces were made of this camera.
