AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Here is a magnificent piece of Italian and European photographic history: a 35mm Durst Automatica camera. This model is famous among collectors for being one of the very early historical attempts at automating exposure through a selenium pneumatic cell.

The Schneider-Kreuznach Radionar 45mm f/2.8 lens appears aesthetically clean.

The shutter selectors and aperture rings move.

The upper advance lever operates correctly.

Note: The camera has not been tested with film nor has the accuracy of the shutter timing and the selenium cell been verified. It is sold as a collectible item in the described condition and as shown in the photos.

Included accessories:
Complete with its original protective brown leatherette/crocodile imitation leather case with strap, visible in the photo IMG_20260622_203743473.jpg.

Please carefully review all attached images (from the front photo IMG_20260622_203638743.jpg to the background details IMG_20260622_203654835.jpg) to independently assess the conservation state of the item.
