camera: (Ansco) Agfa B2 Speedex folding (1940')
image: 60x60mm 120 film
lens: Agfa 85mm 4.5 anastigmat
film: I am enamored by Kodak's Tri-X 400. Gives me the black / white separation while allowing for dynamic midtown grays.
Camera given to me by fellow flickr member Marilyn Root. Thank you.
Took a little loving care to get this camera back into perfect shape, but well worth the time. A fantastic medium format 6x6 gem.
Recently someone online claimed that you‘re not a true macro photographer unless you shoot 80+ stacks of insect eyes with diffused flash etc. I guess that excludes me then… well, it‘s not like I call myself an macro photographer regularly anyway. I mostly call myself an photographic experimenter… I wonder when that title might be taken away from me as well. 😂
Shot with an Agfa "107 mm F 4" lens on a Canon EOS R5.
Such a simple camera to use and a great way into medium format film photography. I bought the Watameter a few weeks after I was given the camera just to complete that 1950's charm. What's your favourite folding camera?

Another photo made with my Agfa Flexilette. It's quite a weird camera, a 35mm TLR, only produced during a short period from 1960 till 1961. Taking-lens is a three element Apotar 2.8/45mm. The camera is well built and therefore quite heavy.
Film: Agfaphoto APX 100.
Development: Jobo Alpha, 8min, 22C, rotation.
Location: Sellingen, Netherlands.

It's been a while since I last added a camera to my collection, in fact I'm in the process of trying to downsize it, but I just couldn't pass this reasonably priced little Flexilette, a camera that had caught my eye several times in the past.
It is a rather unique camera in a sense that it's a TLR using 135 film. Only a handful other cameras by other brands used a similar approach, the pre-war Contaflex being the iconic model for this type of camera.
The Flexilette is a fully mechanical, all-manual, meterless camera the taking lens being a 2.8/45 Color-Apotar which according to online sources is a coated triplet. This fact alone puts the Flexilette in consumer / amateur enthusiast territory, although german triplets often produce stunning results, I for one am very pleased with the Triotar on my Rollei 35B.
The camera sports a waist-level finder which is not very big, but it's quite bright, definitely better than the finder of the Praktica VLC or the EXA-1 from behind the Iron Curtain. Focusing is aided by a retractable magnifying glass and a split-image rangefinder on the focusing screen. The finder is not interchangeable with a prism, so if one wants to shoot with the camera at eye level, they have to compose through a sports finder of sorts that is formed when the WLF flaps are deployed. Take care not to loose the small knob that releases the finder shaft, as it can be easily unscrewed during cleaning or carrying the camera in a bag.
Size-wise, the camera stands in a grey zone between a compact 35mm camera and a small SLR and it feels quite hefty with the lens protruding only a couple of centimeters, the shutter speed and aperture rings being quite narrow but easily accessible and moveable without feeling crowded.
The frame counter is manually reset and counts backwards from 36 as the frames are exposed.
My camera came in exceptional cosmetic and functional condition, along with the peculiar dedicated slip-on lens hood (it's the circular contraption visible on the right) and the close-up attachment of similar configuration which brings minimum focus distance from 0,6m to 0,38m, but sadly without a leather case. Build quality is good, but definitely not up there with Voigtlander or even Zeiss-Ikon. While some parts feel very solid, others feel like cutting production cost was a high priority in the minds of Agfa engineers. Overall operation of the camera feels quite smooth though, the leaf shutter (1s - 1/500s) is really quite and the focusing ring still turns very smoothly.
Overall, an interesting concept camera which wasn't a commercial success, although Flexilettes are not that difficult to find on the german auction site.

Hard to believe, but this was shot on film. This is one of tests photos I took recently to check how reversal film works. I think that result speaks for itself :)

Agfa Clack is basically an updated version of the box type cameras. Agfa Clack was very popular as it was manufactured 1954 to 1965 in great numbers. The main benefits of the Clack were that it could be used at eye level, and also that it looked more like a real camera than a box camera. Clacks were never very ex¬pen¬sive nor very rare.
There are at least two variants of this camera. On the first one the inscripion under the lens is Agfa CameraWerk AG München Germany and the small sun on the aperture settings is colourless. The second one the inscription is Made in Germany and the sun is yellow.
It was sold in North America as the Agfa Weekender.
