I Got A New Camera!

[Bitter Jeweler]

Can't wait to try it out!

 

[arcooke]

Not new, you should ask for a refund.

 

[misstwinklytoes]

Neat! What is it?

 

[Derrel]

Compact flash or SDHC card storage on that beast???

 

[kezsaj]

Neat! What is it?

An old camera with a bellows.

 

[3bayjunkie]

sweet! is that a zoom lens!?

 

[reznap]

That's cool.. Does it take 120 film? Can you give us more info on it please?

 

[Bitter Jeweler]

It is an AGFA-Ansco camera that took PD-16 film, and from what I have been able to find out on the intertubes, yes I can use 120 film with a small adaption.

We're goin through grandma's house cuz she's going into assisted living. I couldn't believe she still had this, and it's in great condition. It's circa 1935ish


The aperture goes from f:11 to f:32, shutter speeds of 1/25, 1/50, 1/100, B and T. You turn the lens to focus with a distance scale. There is no light meter. The viewfinder is a tiny thing that you look down through. It's the little circle to the left.

This will be a fun diversion.

What a great keepsake. Congratulations.

Agfa rocks.

For a few years, I used Agfa 35mm Color print film almost exclusively. But then It became unavailable in my area and I switched to Kodak. That was before the Interwebs came to be popular...

I think you've been had. That's not a camera, it's an Accordian .....

 

[PerfectlyFlawed]

Neato!

Cool, I picked up and old brick but I still haven't developed the film.

Edit: stupid predictive text.

Cool, I picked up and old brick but I still haven't devolved the film.

I picked up an old brick as well with the intent to devolve the film.
