Agfa Isolette – 360° Objekt – drehen und zoomen

The Agfa Isolette is a series of compact folding medium-format cameras produced by Agfa Kamerawerk in Munich, Germany, between 1937 and 1960. These cameras were designed for 120 roll film, capturing 6×6 cm or 4.5×6 cm images.

The Isolette series includes several models, such as:

  • Isolette I, II, and III – featuring different lens and shutter combinations.
  • Isolette V – a budget-friendly version with a simple shutter.
  • Isolette L – one of the later models.
  • Super Isolette – a coupled-rangefinder version introduced in 1954.

These cameras are known for their folding bellows design, making them compact and portable—some even say they fit in a pocket! However, over time, the bellows can become fragile, leading to light leaks.
