It's a known fact F&H as civil firm did not manufacture significant
militar equipment during the WWII, but they were required sometimes to
do some specific work, the Carl Zeiss Reihenbild-Messkamera RB 50/30
was one of them; this was a reconnaissance aerial camera with
photogrammetric purpose. It was mounted on several Luftwaffe aircrafts
reconnaissance models, Bf 109 E6 and Focke Wulff 189 A among them, it
was a large camera provided with motors for automatic work. It took
60% overlapped frames to do photographic maps or to use them
stereoscopically; anyway the camera needed some parts and accesories
to work that F&H did not manufacture, in other words the camera
leaving the F&H factory was not operative yet.
This is an image about the camera:

and you can see here (second photograph) the same camera being removed
from the Fw 189 A, I notice this is a technical and historical page on
the WWII and contains real photographs about German aircrafts from
that era:
