Re: Camera Lust!

[Paul Stenquist]

By the way, I have my father's old Agfa Isolette in my camera display 
case. He purchased it in Sweden in 1952, so it's not the CRF. I've 
never shot a roll of film with it but plan on doing that some time 
soon. I only recently acquired the camera. It was buried in a box of 
junk at my mother's house for the last twenty years. I cleaned the 
lens, and the glass looks nice. So it should be capable of decent 
performance. Focus on these early models is by scale and the lens is 
marked only in meters, so I'll have to get out my thinking cap for this 
one.

Here's an AGFA Isolette CRF with a Solinar lens.
Beautiful and brilliant camera!
I'd really, really love to have this, but it's quite expensive :-(
It's a like new 6x6 camera with a coupled range finder and it will 
fit in
your pocket or camera bag, along with what else you carry for 
photographing.
All you need is a light meter (or a SLR)and film. You can have a 70
Megapixel camera in your pocket!

I could be wrong, but my understanding is that the "guidelines" (I
hesitate to call them rules) suggest that it's inappropriate to post
ongoing eBay auctions of Pentax gear, the operative words being
"ongoing" and "Pentax".  AFAIK, we are more than welcome to post
closed auctions, or auctions of non-Pentaxia.
Anyone else have any thoughts on this?
BTW, sounds like a cool camera.  Is it a folder?  You gonna bid on it?
cheers,
frank
