AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

We propose an iconic piece of German production from the interwar period: a bellows camera from AGFA, a classic example of the optical craftsmanship of Munich, Bavaria. This model, linked to the famous STANDARD series, stands out for its robust construction and the characteristic truncated-pyramid bellows that allowed it to fold to extremely compact dimensions. The camera mounts an original AGFA lens housed on a mechanical shutter that offers settings for instant shots and long exposures, allowing even today a manual and thoughtful approach to photography. The body is finished with an elegant black coating and metallic details that bear a beautiful patina of time. Equipped with a double viewfinder, one orientable reflex finder and one extendable rangefinder, the AGFA STANDARD was designed for the photographer who sought precision and versatility in medium format. This exemplar, while preserving the lived charm of a century-old object, is perfect for display in a collection dedicated to great German brands or for anyone who wishes to own an object that helped spread mass photography across Europe. An excellent opportunity to acquire a timeless AGFA classic, a symbol of reliability and functional design.
