Condition Description:
A wonderful collection of 3 classic West German 35mm viewfinder cameras from the early 1960s. The Dacora Dignette is in good, functional condition. The two Agfa cameras have firing mechanical shutters but inactive light meters and some cosmetic flaws, so they are included strictly AS-IS for display, collection, or repair.

DETAILED BREAKDOWN OF THE CAMERAS:
1. Dacora Dignette
Condition: Good vintage condition.
Mechanics: The mechanical shutter fires nicely, and the film winding mechanism works as it should.

Extras: Comes in a vintage Adox leather case (please note: the bottom retaining screw of the case is missing).
2. Agfa Optima Ia
Mechanics: The mechanical shutter fires.
Light Meter: The unpowered selenium light meter is DEAD (a very common age-related issue for this model).

IMPORTANT NOTE:
While the Dacora seems functional, the two Agfa cameras are sold strictly "AS IS" for collection, display, or parts/repair due to their dead selenium cells and cosmetic flaws.
