That lens will be up on Ebay sooner or later.

Hope the stuff is found intact.

Or on a site classified advertisements. I'd look on German sites like Quoka, Kalaydo & Markt.

Let Large format photography forum know as well.

Thief either was targeting these items or stole something impossible to sell for quick cash. This is terrible.

No more news on the gear, but my insurance just covers about 25% of the damage. Therefore I started a Crowdfunding campaign to finance new gear and to continue my work.

I would be very thankful if you could share that link (https://www.gofundme.com/mfzfoto) on social networks, email friends and so on. My main focus is to give some nice perks for donations, from prints over original tintypes or even portrait sessions in Berlin. You can find more info about that on http://maximilianzeitler.com/?page=gofundme

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, you are really helping me here

I wonder who would steal something so unique that it cannot be sold without ringing an alarm bell hummm Can't be a connoisseur, unless the person wanted to keep the gears for himself which is unlikely. Obviously, it's someone who entered your studio before. Did you mentioned the value of your equipment to anybody? Anyone asking question?
