Ignore the shonky bits of cardboard - just what was available at the time for a quick and dirty shot.
The Record II has an Apotar 4.5/105 in a Prontor-S shutter. Speeds B and 1sec - 1/250. Middling quality lens as far as I know, not fantastic. It's very clean though and I sincerely hope it's not light leaky - the bellows look very fresh. In fact, the whole camera looks like it just came out of the dealer's shop last week.
The item on top is a Pullin rangefinder - pure fluke I found one of these for peanuts and it's supposed to be one of the best.
The Paxina has a Beyreuth Praxar 3.5/75 in a Pronto shutter; speeds B and 1/25 - 1/200. Not that I expect great things from this - it's really a handycam for MF snapshots and I was just tickled with the tube design. Again, it's very clean, but does show signs of use.
Of the two, the Agfa is much more solid feeling and I think I'm going to enjoy using it. _________________ Dave - Moderator Camera Fiend and Biograph Operator If I wanted soot and whitewash I'd be a chimney sweep and house painter. The Lenses of Farside (click)
