Vintage Moller Wedel CamBinox Binoculars Camera - As Is - UntestedThis auction is for a J.D. Moller-Wedel CamBinox binocular camera. Made in Germany. Serial number 321269. Externally this item appears in decent cosmetic condition given it's age.
The outer shell has some wear and tear. it has not been cleaned or serviced.
One eye piece seems to be missing an additional cap. The shutter button compresses when the film button is advanced, and the shutter opens and closes.
When you look through the binocular lenses there are no visible scratches. I am not a collector of vintage binoculars and I have no expertise in this field. Everything in this description is based on personal opinion and this is why the camera is being sold "as is". Please see photos for additional condition details. Please ask all questions prior to bidding. I do not have any additional information regarding the functioning of this item. I do not have any information to give regarding the insides of the lenses and will not take the item apart to take any additional condition photos.
From Camera-Wiki:
The Cambinox is a camera combined with a pair of binoculars, made by J.D. Möller Optische Werke GmbH of Wedel in Holstein, Germany, in about 1956-8. This is the only camera the company is known for. Möller was founded in the 19th century as a maker of optical instruments, and is still in business.
The camera makes 10x14 mm pictures on 16 mm film. Unlike some other camera/binocular devices the camera and binoculars are essentially separate devices joined together. The camera, mounted between the two telescopes of the binoculars, has its own lens, a 90 mm f/3.5 Idemar.The lens focuses independently of the binoculars. The shutter control offers speeds 1/30 - 1/800 second, and there are PC sockets for X- and M-
synchronisation
. The film advance knob, with a mechanical frame counter, is between the two eyepieces. McKeown states there are two models: Model S which has a reticule in one eyepiece (an engraved scale, allowing distances in the view, or the size of buildings, etc. to be estimated) and Model N which has none.
