VINTAGE AGFA JGENAR F8.8 FOLDING CAMERA

This BILLY CLACK No. 51 folding camera is possibly an antique as it belonged to my grandmother in the 1940's. It takes sixteen 4.5 x 6 cm photos on 120 film. It has a periscopic doublet lens with three aperture settings (f/8, f/11 and f /16) which are achieved by switching between fixed size apertures, not with the iris. It has a simple 'l' and 'B' shutter, and view finders for portrait and landscape modes, plus a built-in yellow filter. The glass on the portrait view finder is slightly scratched but this does not hamper the view. It has a winding key to advance the film, and two red windows on the back of the camera. The leatherette covering on the outside of the camera and in the concertina part are in perfect condition. All parts are in working order. The brown leather carrying case is in good condition but the strap has broken off on the one side.
