Give it a try! I often want to shoot 6x6 "on the side", but I rarely want to carry the bulky Pentacon Six, which can actually make professional quality photographs - that is if it's not at home stittng in it's huge "Protector Case". A nice 6x6 folding camera can go in the *ist D bag or a pocket anytime!

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.
