The ROBOT camera is actually a WEST German creation. The Stasi bought and moidfied the Robot observation cameras.I notived one example of a Stasi modified camera. I have a section in my book on the Robot and how it was used by the Stasi. I also have more ROBOT modified pictures I show in my book presentations if you're interested in seeing some more I can post them on the website. I couldn't open the Stasi praktika, but the Praktika was a commercially available camera also modified by the MfS. Kristie Macrakis Dear diser (?),
