Robot Luftwaffen Eingentum lens is fix focused at infinity, not focusable to other distance.

 

However, you may remove the Luftwaffen Eigentum lens and replace it wit regular focusable Robot lens

Robot II camera film transport is problematic.

 

I loaded a roll of 36 exp 135 B&W film, it is suppose to last 50 photos, but at counter 20, the transport mechanism jammed up

 

I have to cut out the remaining film and take out the partially filled cassette.

 

It seems to me, the Robot II main spring is not strong enough to pull 50 exposure. When the take up side is half full, the friction

already become unsurmountable for the spring, hence jammed up

 

I shall try Robot Luftwaffen Eingentum, see whether there is same problem.

I would find it hard to believe that it would be set for anything but infinity if it was used for aerial reconnaissance.
