...is mounted on a speed trap camera: Nikkor 2.8/135. If you will get a picture from this camera, you can feel certain that you will pay a lot of money for it and the consigner will be the police department . It is a Jacknau / Berlin Registration Camera ( I think from the 1980`s ). Jacknau continued the production of the Agfa Registration Cameras. This model is operated with 12V, has a fixed 1/500 shutter speed with electromechanical release and can take 2 pictures a second. The film magazine can be loaded with a 500 pictures roll of film. The box clipped on the back ( pic.3) is equipped with a deflection mirror for the radar set recorded data. I hope you don’t have too much of this expensive portraits at home. MIK

Interesting, about the only thing I recognize as Nikon is the lens. Is it a modified Nikon body and if so which one?

Hi Bob ! The camera has been manufactured by Jacknau high-precision mechanics in Germany, where they used Agfa parts for assembling. Normally you wont get the picture ( only the ticket ) from the police. A friend of mine once had seen some of the unloved snapshots and said: These are "pin sharp" pictures, i hate that lens ! MIK
