Berning Robot Star 50

The Berning Robot Star 50 is a 35mm spring-wound viewfinder camera produced by the German maker Otto Berning & Co., a firm known for the Robot series of clockwork cameras designed around a square format on 35mm film. It was positioned as a compact, mechanically driven camera suited to rapid sequential shooting.

Auction data for the Robot Star 50 is very thin: the only logged UK saleroom result on file is a single 2001 hammer of £82, so a meaningful current price band cannot be quoted for today's market. Buyers researching what one is worth or sells for in 2026 should treat that figure as a wholesale data point from over two decades ago rather than a guide to present value, and watch live auction listings for fresher comparables.
