It is no coincidence that Agfa cameras very often appear here at the Historical . Finally, this global company was one of the most widely circulated camera manufacturers in the 50s and 60s of the last century .
With this apparatus 6x6 Agfa obviously trying to give the actually quite unassuming device a "professional " ( small picture) design , which is quite well done.
The camera was introduced in 1956 as " Isola " , with the appearance of the simpler Isola I in 1957 it was renamed the " Isola II".
It's better equipped than their cheaper sister , after all she has as an objective the Dreilinser " Agnar 6,3 / 75 mm " . To succeed in this camera produce stunningly sharp images. You can stop down to 11 and the distance is adjustable on the front lens. The " Singlo -2" cap allows times of 1/30 , 1 /100 sec and B. The lens is retractable, in this state , the camera measures 140x100x65 mm , weight is 320 g double exposure lock and flash shoe ( without a hot shoe , for flash socket ) also included.

The Franka works in Bayreuth counted until the sixties of the last century to the very successful camera manufacturers in West Germany. Especially famous was the roll film camera "solidarity", of which there were countless variations. The worst of this series made this "solidarity Record B". It came with only one moment of time (1/30) and "B", but had three apertures (8, 11, 16) and the "special lens 1:8 / 80" was probably a doublet. The distance was adjustable.
Two features, however, are noteworthy: The aperture was no pinhole, but consisted of lamellae, rare in this price range. Then there was the possibility of an insertable mask (is it still in my), but also include 4x4 cm negatives. It got so out 4 more images and could also make slides that still fit into 5x5-inch frame ("super slides").
It is worth noting that almost all camera parts from Bayreuth, home of the Franka-work, came: the lens was from Steiner / Bayreuth, the closure Franka developed itself and the bellows is made of Kreher / Bayreuth.
The Franka Solida Record B came on the market in 1958 and was sold in three years 78000 times. The price was 33, - DM
The Bessamatic was a high-quality camera with interchangeable lenses peak, they had a coupled selenium light meter and a central locking system, which turned out to be a disadvantage at the end. Because of the complicated mechanics, it was considered difficult repairable, nevertheless it was robust and reliable and one of the most successful German small SLRs of the 50s and 60s. Including all model variants approximately 243,000 units were produced from 1958 to 1969.
A contemporary brochure you can see how complicated it was the mechanics of Bessamatic:
"The clamping of the closure on the quick winding of film is transported, the film gate is covered by the door, the viewfinder mirror is pivoted in position, opens the aperture, the shutter is opened for viewing through the viewfinder. With the press of the shutter button the shutter closes, the aperture jumps, the viewfinder mirror flips up, it follows the cover, which is protective against the film, and now exposed by the shutter opening and closing. Despite these numerous functions that are set with the press of the shutter in motion, the exposure delay is only about 1/50 second. "
1961 cost the Bessamatic with the standard lens "Color Skopar" 575, - DM
This camera was one of the better equipped Rapid models from Agfa. The special feature of this camera series was the rapid cartridge - it was Agfa's response to the introduced by Kodak Instamatic cartridge. Just as the negative of these had a square format, but slightly smaller, namely 24x24 mm. The system facilitated the rapid film loading and created security against light accidentally opened the camera. Two cartridges were used: filled with the unexposed film and a blank. After loading the back wall of the camera and closing the film automatically threaded into the empty cartridge. Was the movie through, the one formerly used as a full cartridge empty cartridge and you could load the camera with a new Rapid film - Rewind was no longer necessary. On a negative format of 24x24 mm you got 16 images. The film was a normal miniature film, so you can still fill the Rapid cartridges back at some skill.
When the shutter is automatically Isomat Rapid controlled by the selenium light diameter from 4.5 to 22 with an exposure time of 1/70 second. For use with flash unit was switched to 1/30, the appropriate aperture to be set manually. Focusing is done by either symbols or numbers (from 1 m). Adequate or inadequate lighting conditions were indicated by a red or green signal in the viewfinder. The lens was the Dreilinser Agnar. The Isomat Rapid cost in 1966 89, - DM
Against the Instamatic cartridge, Agfa's method could not prevail. So Agfa built from 1967 and the cameras for the 126er system and had run out, the Rapid system 1973. After all, by then about 5 million Rapid cameras were produced.
After the war, Germany had many camera manufacturers. The company Goldammer in Mlheim / Main was going remarkably well. It was founded in the 1920s in Frankfurt / Main, where they produced until the early fifties cameras in hand. Later they moved to Mlheim, there then began a fairly extensive camera production.
The Goldixette is called a tube camera with a retractable lens. This guy was quite popular at the time, for example as Baldixette of the company Balda. The figure shows a variation of a common basic model that was under different names (Goldeck, GUGO, Corina and others) in circulation. Also, the lens / shutter combinations were numerous.
The lying at the front of the trigger Goldixette is the eye-catching contrast to the other relatives of Yellowhammer. The lens with the funny name "Gugomat 7,7 / 75 mm" consists of two lens elements and can be gray, with an aperture at 11. The self-tensioning acro closure was developed by Gauthier in her twenties and has 1/25, 1/75 and B.
The camera was in the year 1953 for about 30, - DM sold.
Hard to believe: This fine little device is so compact that you can include it in the folded state, almost with one hand! The first small-screen Ikonta (rollfilm Ikontas there was already longer) in 1948 was a "Ikonta 35" brought (522/24) of Zeiss Ikon as a new development on the market.
There were different versions: from the simple to the Dreilinser Novar and Clio-closure to the Tessar / Synchro-Compur version. The Tessar was replaced initially because of delivery problems by the Zeiss equivalent Schneider-Xenar.
A not so good Kontruktionsidee was the tripod thread on the top. Just imagine: When a tripod, the lens was covered up by the door! In the follow-up models were cut then the tripod socket in the hinged cover.
1953 was renamed Contina, the name was later used for a long time for miniature models of Zeiss Ikon.
In 1951, cost the pictured model 190, - DM
An unavoidable characteristic of rangefinder cameras - whether small or medium format image - is the Sucherparallaxe. At close range, you look practically anything about the shot is away. With film cameras, you often help by limiting marks in the viewfinder, so you riff the right neckline.
The most technical solution but offers at the 6x6 cameras with bellows these Certo Six: Here the focus is not adjusted in the viewfinder, but the entire lens. That is, moving the setting near the lens not only backward but also up! So you can see even at close range always exactly what comes again negative. An outstanding idea!
The film is not transported with a scroll wheel on, but with a transport handle, the red window for the file number is not required.
Getting used to being at the Certo Six, however, the Focus and Shoot. On the hinged lid - ie in the unfolded state the bottom - is a lever, which can be moved horizontally to adjust the distance. This is done as possible with the left thumb with your right index finger pressing the shutter button namely, the front is attached to the housing at the camera center.

Production began in 1953 in the Certo Six "Certo-camera work of the Gnna sons" in Dresden, in 1972 became the "VEB Certo camera plant in Dresden", incorporated in 1980 in the VEB Pentacon Dresden and in 1985 finally dissolved.
The mid-70s of the last century, the designers commissioned Agfa Schlagheck & Schultes, a housing for an automatic miniature camera design. The studio had already provides an excellent reputation as the creator of the famous "Brown" design.
The result was the successful Optima sensor-electronic models, which are still in demand today because of their timeless appearance and very reliable technology.
The Model 1035 was 1976, the first of this series. It was - like all cameras of this series - the Parator program closure, the aperture and shutter speed automatically stopped. Influence they had not, but this usually was not necessary, because it worked very well. The time range went from respectable 15 seconds to 1/1000 second, aperture of 2.8 to 22
The excellent Vierlinser Solitaire 2.8 / 40 mm was coated several times, a self-timer was also present.
The distance was adjusted for symbols or numerically, a distance meter was not installed. The top model had only the 1535th
