What it is
{"overview":"The Berning Robot Royal II is a 35mm spring-wound viewfinder camera produced by Otto Berning & Co. As with most Robot bodies, hammer prices at UK auction (wholesale levels, before commission) are highly condition-sensitive, and a working spring motor with clean optics is what the price tracks.","buying_guide":"Inspect the spring-drive motor for smooth wind and consistent advance, check shutter speeds across the range, and look for haze, fungus or separation in any fitted lens.
