I checked it out in my McKeown... Agfa Plenax, ca. 1935. Sold for $8-12 . The catalog issue date is 1987-'88.

I got some interesting *old* camera gear given to me today; a camera and
a flash! Have a look:

Very cool stuff - respooling 120 to 620 is no problem, and if you have a 620 spool for the take up reel you can usually get away with just cutting down a 120 roll as the source roll.


I'm pretty sure I can come up with another 620 spool.
I'm going to have to give this baby a try. I just found a virtually
identical camera on eBay and that sold for $6.50! I can't even imagine
going to the trouble of listing it for that kind of price. Bet I can do
some really "Theriaultean" photography with mine :)

I also found an identical Kodak flash, *with* the box and manual just
like what I have... and it hasn't attracted any bids at all. (I can't
imagine why these *valuable* collector's items aren't selling <g>)

PS: Anyone else notice that the "PLENAX" name on the front of the camera
looks a lot like the typeface used for the "Pentax" logo?
