![]() ![]() ![]() The airforce got the model F-XXXXX-N models. The Germany military purchased mainly Robot IIs. Although as many as 2000 were built most got destroyed. The "holly grail" of Luftwaffe Robots is the Robot 375, a Robot II with large capacity (10 meters film or 375 photographs). Most of these, however, did not get Biotars but 75mm Sonnars (the alloy cased and coated Sonnars too are worth a bit of a premium to collectors). If the Biotar is the proper one with an alloy (instead of stainless steel) case and got a coated lens then it could be worth somewhat more. ![]() The camera pictured would probably not fetch much more than 1/2 that (with some luck). A well documented camera can fetch as much as 300 EUROs (480 USD at current exchange rates) and sometimes more. If fully working its worth a premium over a "civilian" Robot II due to its taller winder, black paint and "Luftwaffe Eigentum" stampings. The camera pictured is a Robot II tall winder in not very good condition. ![]()
