TextThe Tropical Reflex was introduced in 1909 by Marion & Company of London. It was sold for over forty years under several different company labels, the last being Soho Ltd. With its body of polished teak—a rot-resistant wood used on cameras designed to be used in humid climates—and its red leather bellows and focusing hood, the Soho Tropical Reflex is among the most attractive cameras ever produced.
