Specifications:

Year of manufacture: circa 1955
Film format: 35mm small format
Lens: Schneider-Kreuznach Xenar 45mm f/2.8
German production
A particularly attractive piece for the collector of historical cameras and German photographic equipment.
The camera has been carefully tested. During testing the following was found:
The winding mechanism functions well.
The shutter generally functions well, but occasionally refuses, especially on the first shot after winding. The shutter speeds seem to run correctly, but given the age of the camera the accuracy of the shutter speeds cannot be guaranteed.
The focus of the lens works well.
The finder is neat and usable. Inside there are some small specks visible.
The Schneider-Kreuznach Xenar 45mm f/2.8 lens is clear and free of scratches. Inside there is a very small spot visible. The exact cause has not been determined.
All in all, it is a very nice Robot Royal 36 in good condition for its age, with the usual signs of aging that can occur with a camera from this period.
Shipping: fast and carefully packaged shipping.
