For 375 exposures on 10m film, made for German Air-Force in WWII, with Biotar 2/4cm no.2513886 (with defaced Luftwaffen engraving), electric shutter release complete with steering unit and release knob. We believe two batches of 100 cameras were made (nos. D47001 - D47100 + D58001 - D58100), less than 15 cameras are known to exist. We have never seen such a complete outfit. The Robot 375 cameras were mounted in the rear of Ju87 warplanes similar to the famous Leica 250 with electric motordrive. Once activated the camera took photos automatically in fixed time intervals. The Robot cameras were highly regarded because of picture quality and reliability in extreme conditions. The camera offered is in very fine and working condition!
