AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Two unusual SLR cameras made in Dresden, the Pentina E and the Pentina FM. These cameras were equipped with a central shutter and ahead of their time. They are relatively heavy and sturdy cameras, weighing 750–800 grams. The model was produced for only 4 years from 1961 to 1965 and was a very expensive camera for its time. It was not a sales success and only 45,000 units were ever made. For more background information see: https://camera-wiki.org/wiki/Pentina
Both cameras are in cosmetically reasonable condition (see photos), the shutters and the film transport work, but the cameras have not been tested and are sold as non-working / untested. The simple Pentina E without a light meter is equipped with the well-known T 1:2.8 f=50 mm from the JENA standard lens in very good condition. The more luxurious Pentina FM model (equipped with a light meter, which, of course, has not functioned for more than 60 years) is fitted with the Lydith 1:3.5/30 mm wide-angle lens produced by Meyer-Optik Görlitz. This lens is also in very nice condition.
The lot will be well packed and shipped promptly after the auction ends.
