Description from the seller

Agfa Karat 3.5 (Type 201/3) Solinar F3.5/5cm No 637608
Shutter works; the lens is slightly hazy

The Agfa Karat series was introduced in 1937.

The cameras owe their name to the feature of using two Karat cartridges containing a 35 mm film of 12 exposures. Agfa argues that a 12-exposure film corresponds to the average number of shots taken when using a camera.

Since the receiving cartridge is identical to the one that contains the unused film, there is no need to rewind at the end of the roll; simply give the laboratory the receiving spool, then put the empty spool back in its place. To avoid confusion between a new film and a film that has already been exposed, an EXP mark appears on the end of the film on the portion that does not fit into the cartridge.
