A.O. Roth was the distributor in London for Meyer in the 1920s and 30s. Roth also sold Mentor products,[1] and made some of their own cameras.[2] An advertisement shown at Camera Eccentric confirms this, referring to the Roth Superspeed Press Camera.[3] See also the Lunar, a rare 'night camera' with a Meyer lens, advertised by Roth in 1925.
Notes
- ↑ Meyer Catalogue of 1936, at Camera Eccentric, giving (on page 2) Roth as sole agent for Great Britain and the colonies. The details give an address for telegrams to Roth as 'Mentorflex, Catgreen, London'.
- ↑ The Company information pages at Early Photography. The notes give the address for Roth as 85 Ringstead Road, Catford, effective from about 1923-39.
- ↑ Roth, Meyer and Mentor advertisements from pp 576-574 of the BJP Almanac for 1938, also at Camera Eccentric. One of the advertisements (p 572) refers to the Roth Superspeed Press Camera (sadly with no picture). Roth Unipods (presumably monopods) are also advertised.
