Tks so much Minolfan !
I have just read through the manual but still i cannot find a answer to my question to the super isolette:
The camera arrive today and it seems everything ok except that i cannot realeas the shutter by pushing the shutter button on the top plate. I can only release the shutter by touching the small arm on the lens barrel.
Does it mean that i have to fill a roll film before i can push the shutter button ? Or a bad copy of camera ?
I have other folders but first time i met this kind of question...
Need help please ... _________________ 1 leica M lens,1 leica R lens;

Your camera should have an interlock, which means you have to turn the wind knob a bit until you hear a little click, before you can release the shutter by the finger release. It is not necessary to have a film in, which is pretty much something that applies to some 35mm cameras. |

nothing happens when turning the winding wheel, no click sound, so click feel, just smooth running...
the counter remains at A...
and still no way to make a push on the shutter button! _________________ 1 leica M lens,1 leica R lens;

okok----
finally i decided to put a roll inside...
now it works ! i have made 3 shots !
oh my god, this is the most unique 120 folder i have ever met - shutter can only be realeased after rolling the film on-but why agfa did not mention this point in their manual ? _________________ 1 leica M lens,1 leica R lens;

Excellent catches, always wanted the Super Isolette, and I think they came

I had the great fortune of having this show up on an auction site late last summer after months of it being on my radar. I've had fun collecting too many vintage film cameras this past year, but this is the one I'm least likely to ever sell. I try to buy at less than half "world market" prices but I paid higher than usual for this magnificent piece of craftsmanship because I was convinced of the excellent condition. It seems to have had a recent CLA since the viewfinder and everything else is so clean. I'm very pleased with the results from the first roll of Kodak Ektar 100. |

Liked my 1st Agfa Super Isolette so much, I couldn't resist bidding on another one. The focus ring was very stiff and infinity focus was off. After a little TLC and tinkering, focus is correctly calibrated and the helicoid is silky smooth. The shutter speeds and transport mechanism seem good so I'm running a roll of Kodak's finest Ektar 100 in it. Soon will have an Agfa Super Isolette up for sale. These are amazing 6x6 cameras. |
