The ones with bad bellows were post-war, or maybe just the 1950's versions. And even these often are still good, I have one (Ansco branded for US market) with the synthetic bellows but no pinholes. Thats a nice camera.
The earlier ones had good leather bellows.
I also have one of the first production series (late 1930's I think) and the bellows are leather and just fine.
The other problem with these, like so many Agfas, is that %^*% old grease on the focusing screw, that hardens into cement. Even my 1930's Isolette and my 6.5x9cm plate camera (unique design with helical) are both stuck hard. _________________ I like Pentax DSLR's, Exaktas, M42 bodies of all kinds, strange and cheap Japanese lenses, and am dabbling in medium format/Speed Graphic work. |
