It's one of the few cameras that has not been through my fingers over the years. Over here Robots seldom appear for sale, and seem to have a 'mystique', and when they do - the prices are high!, never mentioned much around here - I wonder if there are many left 'over there'. Unless I get real lucky, chances are I may never have one, but am just curious! Are they a nice user, reliable - etc.?some of you guys must have them, and it would be interesting and different to hear some views and see some pictures from these 'rarities' and may start me searching!:) Dave. Dear Dave, You really shouldn't feel that you've missed too much. I've had several 24x24 models in the past (including Luftwaffe 'long spring') but most require at least one brand-specific cassette and many require two. The lens choice is indifferent and the square format (made necessary by the shutter design) is, in my view, less use than half frame.

The ones I've had have all been reliable, though incredibly heavy (the body is reputedly machined from a block of stainless steel). Admittedly I've always idly fancied a Royal 36 but they really are rare. If you want a motor-drive smaller-than-standard forrmat 35mm camera (14x21mm) with special cassettes, a Tessina is much more fun. And a TLR to boot. I have a Robot Royal 36 with a 50/2 Sonnar and a 75/4 lens.

I haven't used it nearly as much as I'd like, but they really are superior quality cameras. I've read somewhere online that it's 'fine watchmaking meets heavy artillery', which is quite an appropriate analogy. PhotoArsenal has a 35mm Xenogon lens for it that I would love, but right now it's out of my price range (and not worth their asking price, IMO). If you're looking for one of these cameras, they usually have a couple on eBay, as well as Kevin's Cameras out in Los Angeles.

But yes, as you say they are usually quite pricey! The only thing I don't like about the camera is that it does not have strap lugs, and finding a half case (or bottom part of the ever ready case) can be a bit of an adventure.fortunately I have one, otherwise you'd be carrying the camera around in your hands, or you'd need to find one of those wrist straps that screws into the tripod mount. BTW, I just checked on eBay, and there are 14 Robot Royal 36 cameras for sale, so they really aren't that rare.
