Agfa Box

Two Agfa Box Cameras which look so much alike that I propose a game, Find Ten Differences !

  • Film type 120 rollfilm
  • Picture size 6x9
  • Lens single-element meniscus / f11
  • Focal range 2m - infinity
  • Shutter simple "safety pin" type

  • Shutter speeds one speed, about 1/30, plus 'B'
  • Viewfinder two vaist level ground glass screens

Agfa Werk was one of the biggest manufacturer of this type of cameras. Perhaps the second after Kodak.The main difference between these two Agfa Cameras is that Synchro has a flash synchronizing for flash bulbs.
