Robot II Luftwaffe Eigentum

The Luftwaffen model of the Robot camera was produced between 1940-45 for the German airforce, most likely as a gun camera to record images of airstrikes and dogfights.  It uses the same clockwork mechanism as previous Robot cameras for tensioning film advance.  They can be found with either single or double spring motors.  The rotary shutter speeds are set by a dial on the face of the camera with speeds ranging from 1 second to 1/500.  Aperture is manually set on the lens which is interchangeable and uses the proprietary Robot thread mount.
