CAMERA INDEX


Agfa Isolette III
My girlfriend got me this camera at flea market for almost no money. I haven't actually tried it with film but everything seems to be working, except for the uncoupled rangefinder which is stuck. Usually i am not one to try and repair things myself and i haven't tried to break into the camera as of yet. Since the rangefinder is uncoupled it's not really a necessity either, there is a scale for scale focusing as well which can easily be used. Or well, not easily maybe, but at least used.

The camera itself is quite a beauty. It's very compact, fairly light-weight and mine is in very good cosmetic condition. After exercising the shutter a bit i think that it should work fine as well. The bellows looks solid and without holes. Of course i wouldn't expect longer shutter times to work flawlessly. I intend to try this camera out, i do use 120-film quite a lot so that in itself is no problem.
