Robot | Star 50 Classic Factory Sample Estimate: €3,200–3,600 Year: c.1996 Serial No.: CL212501 Condition: A- English: An exceptionally rare white-finished Robot Star 50 Classic factory sample, internally engraved with “Unverkäufliches Muster” (“not for sale – sample”). The Star 50 Classic was planned as a special white collector’s edition but never entered regular production. According to specialist Robot documentation, only a very small number of factory samples—reportedly five examples—were completed for presentation and evaluation. This camera belongs to this pre-production group and is visibly distinct from all other Star 50 cameras due to its large central spring-drive winding knob. Fitted with a Schneider-Kreuznach Xenagon 3.5/30 mm lens, no. 13271842; all in mint condition.

It features a Schneider Kreuznach Xenagon 3.5/30 mm lens, No. 13271842, and is in like-new condition.
