In 1938 Berning introduced the [[Robot II]], a slightly larger camera with some significant improvements but still using the basic mechanism. Among the standard lenses were a 3&nbsp;cm Zeiss Tessar and a 3.75&nbsp;cm Zeiss Tessar in f/2.8 and 3.5 variations, a f/2.0, 40&nbsp;mm Zeiss Biotar and f/4, 7.5&nbsp;cm Zeiss Sonnar. The film cassette system was redesigned, and the 1951 IIa accepted a standard 35&nbsp;mm cassette. The special Robot cassettes type-N continued to be used for take-up. A small [[Bakelite]] box was sold to allow colour film to be rewound into the original cassettes as required by film processing companies. The camera was synchronized for flash. The swinging viewfinder was retained, but now operated by a lever rather than moving the entire housing. Both the deep purple and yellow filters were eliminated in the redesign. Some versions were available with a double-wind motor which could expose 50 frames on one winding. Civilian versions of the Robot were discontinued at the outset of the [[Second World War]], but it was used as a bomb damage assessment camera by the Luftwaffe, mounted in the tail of Ju 87 (Stuka) dive bombers. This was an electrically driven camera using large cassettes possibly as many as 300 24 x 24mm images. Unlike the central Leica 250GG camera in the Ju 87, which was switched on automatically when the dive brakes were applied, the Robot camera had to be switched on manually. In the stress of the automatic pull out, when it was not uncommon for the pilot to black out from the g levels, switching on the bomb damage assessment camera was frequently forgotten.
