Beschrijving van de verkoper
The Agfa Flexilette, produced in Munich, West Germany between 1960 and 1961, is a fascinating and rare hybrid of camera design. It is a 35mm Twin Lens Reflex (TLR) camera, a format much less common than its medium-format counterparts. Designed with a stylish, eye-level waist-level finder and a distinctive vertical arrangement of its Agfa Apotar lenses, the Flexilette offered the precision of a TLR in a compact, 35mm package. Its brief production run makes it a highly desirable piece for collectors of oddities and Agfa enthusiasts alike, representing a unique moment in German camera engineering history.
