Primafot (Robot II E III/R), 1950 onwards

Techniko G.M.B.H. Düsseldorf. Automatic passport camera based on the Robot camera, also known as Fotomatic-Junior, 58 x 54 cm (height x width). Introduced at Photokina 1950, it enabled all photo retailers and druggists who did not hold a master photographer's certificate from the Chamber of Commerce to still produce passport photos, as the customer photographed themselves (with a shutter release only for him). Robot camera no. B97789, Xenar 3.5/50 mm lens, split mirror in good condition, version without lamp attachment, but cable connection present. Since the device was sealed at the back and was only opened by us, opening the camera back revealed that there was still film in the two cassettes. By removing the cable release and manually pressing the shutter release, the camera fired several times without any problems after more than half a century. It would be interesting to know if there are still customer photos on the film. An outstanding exhibit, relating both to the history of Germany, the practice of business without regulatory authorities, and to the security technology of person identification. Well preserved and extremely rare. Electrical functions not tested.
