Robot | Star 50 Classic Factory Sample Estimate: € 3,200–3,600 Year: c.1996 SN: CL212501 Condition: A- English: Exceptionally rare white-finished Robot Star 50 Classic factory sample, internally engraved 'Unverkäufliches Muster' ('not for sale – sample'). The Star 50 Classic was planned as a special white collector’s version but never entered regular production. According to specialist Robot documentation, only a very small group of factory samples — reportedly five examples — was completed for presentation and evaluation. The present camera belongs to this pre-production group and differs visibly from all other Star 50 cameras by its large central spring-drive winding knob. Fitted with Schneider-Kreuznach Xenagon 3.5/30 mm no. 13271842, all in mint condition. Deutsch: Außergewöhnlich seltenes weiß ausgeführtes Werksmuster der Robot Star 50 Classic, innen graviert „Unverkäufliches Muster“. Die Star 50 Classic war als besondere weiße Sammlerausführung geplant, gelangte jedoch nie in die reguläre Serienfertigung. Nach Robot-Fachunterlagen entstand nur eine sehr kleine Gruppe von Werksmustern – vermutlich fünf Exemplare – für Präsentations- und Testzwecke. Die vorliegende Kamera gehört zu dieser Vorserie und unterscheidet sich von allen Star-50 Kameras durch den großen mittig angeordneten Federmotor-Spannknopf. Mit Schneider Kreuznach Xenagon 3,5/30 mm Nr.13271842, alles in neuwertigem Zustand.
