Iso - Rapid IF 1965

Agfa ISO-RAPID IF was an all-mechanic viewfinder camera for Agfa Rapid film system. It has a fix-focus lens in a Parator shutter with release lever.

Made in Germany by Agfa 1965.

Two settings are selectable: sunlight and flash. On top of the brick-like camera body are an exposure counter and a hot shoe for an electronic flash. A thumb-wheel in the camera back serves for cocking the shutter and advancing the 35mm film.

Its similar to the Iso-Rapid I, but with an added AG-1 flashbulb holder. The f8 lens has three apertures, set into a two-speed Parator shutter.

I will test this cute camera also in my portrait project.

Test shooting Agfa Optima

My plan for this day was to go out and test shoot with 2 of my cameras but wake up with a fever this morning.
Incredibly beautiful light outside and snow landscape but it is so cold -13 degrees. So will test just one of the cameras in my home.

and some music to get warm

Magazine - Photo France 1951

I love looking at old photo magazines but it is not the photographs I like the most. It´s the camera and film ads! Here is some magazines "Photo France" from 1951.
