SuperisoThis is an Agfa Super Isolette - the big daddy of the Agfa Isolette range. The Super Isolette dates from 1954-7 and is a 120 rollfilm folding camera which takes 12 pictures 6cm x 6cm in size. It features an unusual film loading mechanism which is fully automatic. All the user has to do is thread the film onto the takeup spool and close the camera back. The film knob is then wound until it stops at which point the first frame is properly lined up. This is possible because the camera can detect the start of the film proper on the backing paper.The Super Isolette was a very expensive camera at the time - and due to the import restrictions and high sales tax in force in UK at the time - it would have been virtually impossible to buy one new.

However the example pictured below has its focus calibrated in feet which indicates it was for export - quite possibly to the UK. Current value is in excess of £100.Whilst the Super Isolette was a short lived camera - it was the inspiration behind the more common Russian camera from the early 1960s.SpecificationsLens Type4 element (coated) SolinarFocal Length75mmMaximum ApertureF3.5Film Type120 Roll FilmPicture Size6x6cmShutter9 speed Synchro Compur + BX and MCoupledFilter size32mm push onThis picture was taken with a digital camera.For more good pictures of the Agfa Super Isolette please click.Got a question or can't find the info you are looking for?
