AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Due to the end of my collection: a beautiful and 'rare' Ihagee Microbie 500 type foldable camera made of rosewood in its original box. For its age (1916), the camera is still in excellent condition. Dimensions: 4.5 cm x 6.0 cm. The Microbie 500 is a foldable camera made by Ihagee in Dresden. In 1928, the name was changed to Mikrobie, and the viewfinder/sport finder was replaced with a waist-level finder. Based on the information about the Mikrobie on collectiblend.com, it can be confidently stated that this is an Ihagee Microbie 500. Considering the launch year: 1916, according to Camerawiki, this camera was likely produced during World War I (1914-1918). The camera functions properly; the shutter, aperture, and focusing slide work perfectly, and the bellows are intact and undamaged or repaired. Shutter: Pronto. Shutter speeds: T, B, 1/25 - 1/100. All shutter speeds are operational.
Lens: Trioplan 75 mm f 1:6.8. The lens has haze but is otherwise free of fungus and separation. The camera offered is in good, fully functional condition. Photos are part of the description.
