Hello ,
Help me find out what the camera is and how much it can cost.

That appears to be the lens and panel for a camera. So, if that is the case, you are missing the camera and the film back + whatever is needed to operate it!

I understand that this is just a part of the camera, but I could not find information about it

[John Kasaian]

What makes to think it is Zeiss? I don't see any indication of that from your pictures.

[Dan Fromm]

Hmm. These things turn up from time to time. Complete mysteries.

Is that bipin connector on the lower left for flash or something else? If it's for flash, it's probably some sort of high production portrait system. http://camera-wiki.org/wiki/Camerz

Come to think of it, that huge leaf shutter at the rear isn't consistent with an aerial camera. Too slow.

[Mark Sampson]

That connector looks more like a power plug than a bi-post flash connection. And it looks too expensively engineered to be a Camerz... those are pretty utilitarian devices. Might it have been part of a process (copy) camera?

[Louis Pacilla]

Could it be to an old East Germany high end process/reproduction camera?

Could it be to an old East Germany high end process/repo camera?

If a process camera lens it would have a slot for drop in screens.
What would maybe help would be close up photos of the printing on the front panel.

I presumed that the large knob on the front was aperture control but I could be wrong. Looking at the peripheral markings on the lens prompts me to ask if the lens rotates to produce variable outcomes. Does it?
