Isolette III

[Don Harpold]

Hello all

This is from a roll I just finished scanning.

This is from the "new" Agfa Isolette III I just got from certo6, it has the Solinar 3.5 75mm lens.
This is HP5 Plus HC110 dil. H 11 mins. 20C.

I am really pleased with the camera, one issue I had on a couple that it did not seem like the shutter fired so I cocked it again and I got double exposures so I guess it fired but it did not seem like it fired, at least I did not hear it and the indicater did not go red??

I will check with Jurgen and see what he says.

Beautiful! Gotta love those old folders!

Looks pretty sharp to me. Enjoy. I am currently running some film through a couple of old folders, your images give me hope that they will turn out ok.

You may also like Apotars. Very nice for portraits albeit scale focus.

Thanks all
I appreciate it.

The Apotar came on the III as well, so you get the uncoupled RF. Just restored one, about halfway through a roll.

Well done Don Harpold, this looks not so bad in bw - isn't it so ?

I yust own some Isolettes II in quite good conditions with the Agnar - it shall be a little bit poor in aspects of quality.

The Apotars are the better ones.
Bit therefore the Isolettes looks like
from 2005. Not brand new but in the very near.

And I have one with the f/4.5 75mm Solinar.
The Isolette with the Solinar have also
an indicator.
Double exposures should be impossible -
because the shutter is out of order
unless you have to transport one frame.
Is this not so with your Isolette III it
could be a problem with your compur.

I have that problem some times unser
conditions of inspecting the camera - haven't shoot a single film with my
Isolettes up to now - may be next week.


with regards
