Classic Medium Format Film
These medium format film cameras both take 120 film and produce the very popular 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 inch negative. On the left is an Agfa Isolette folding camera of a type popularized by Voightlander and Zeiss Ikon. While rendering a very high quality image five times larger than the 35mm negative, these cameras, when folded, were even more compact than the 35mm of their day. The twin-lens Rolleiflex on the right hardly needs description as it dominated both professional and amateur photography for so many years. In those days, no country in the world could challenge the quality of the Zeiss lenses produced by secret formula in Germany.
