What it is
{"overview":"The Petzold Flammentachograph is a specialist German instrument camera designed to photographically record flame and combustion events at high frame rates. It is a scientific recording device rather than a general-purpose camera, and falls well outside the consumer photographic market.","market_narrative":"Public auction data for the Flammentachograph is extremely thin, so any view of what one is worth today rests on a very small sample.

Questions
Is the Flammentachograph a regular camera?
No — it is a specialist German instrument for recording flame and combustion events, which is why its price behaviour does not track normal collector-camera trends.
