AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

VINTAGE AGC PRONTOR II Folding Film Camera GERMANY Art Deco

Body dimensions: 155x85x40mm.
Weight: 594g.

Foto Knoll was a small company from Leipzig that made a limited number of cameras but mainly sold cameras from other manufacturers until the 1930s. This camera is a Certix B from Certo-Camera-Werk in Dresden. The name of the Foto Knoll model is uncertain, but the company name is embossed in the leather.
It is a simple camera corresponding to the Certix B from 1937. It was made for 6 x 4.5 format in film 120, having two red windows on the back with a sliding cover. The release is on the body. The lens is a Schneider-Kreuznacht Radionar with a focal length of 10.5 cm and a maximum aperture of 4.5. The shutter is a Gauthier Prontor II.

The cameras has been quickly tested and are working, there may be hidden defects. In the quick test, the clamping and triggering worked. The shutter is a little bit stiff. I did not check camera with film. The Item exhibits minor signs of usage and wear. You might notice small imperfections such as minor wear on the parts. These are minimal and don't detract from the overall appearance and functionality of the item. Look carefully photos. Photos attached to the listing are part of this description.

I describe to the best of my knowledge and belief. Since this is a private sale, I do not provide any warranty and do not offer a right of return- consider this before bidding!
