What it is

{"overview":"The Kilfitt Robot Prototype (spring motor) is a one-off or very-low-production experimental camera bearing the Kilfitt name, fitted with a spring-driven motor wind in the manner of Berning Robot cameras. Because these are one-off prototype results rather than a regular market, the figures should be read as indicative only, and any value placed on the camera today in 2026 would depend heavily on provenance and competing bidders on the day.","buying_guide":"Anyone considering a piece like this should insist on documented provenance linking it to Kilfitt, and have the spring motor and shutter checked by a specialist before purchase, as parts and service support do not exist for a prototype.

Questions

Why is the price so variable?

It is a prototype with no series production, so each appearance is effectively a unique sale and the price depends on who is bidding rather than any established going rate.
