This Ansco Super-Speedex (AKA Agfa Super-Isolette) is in excellent condition. The Solinar 75/3.5 lens is sharp, haze and fungus free, with very minor dust. The shutter works well at all speeds. The focus is smooth, and the rangefinder is accurate. The rangefinder patch is clear and easy to use, as is the viewfinder itself. Auto-winding works perfectly and the frame spacing is right on. Bellows are in excellent condition (Agfa used really good leather for these models), and have no pinholes. One of the most modern 120 folders ever made, this was Agfa's top of the line. Makes great pictures. Sample frame from my last roll included (Delta 100).
Comes with a hard-to-find hood, and 3 Kodak filters (UV, yellow, orange).

$550 includes all accessories, PP fees and postage in CONUS. USA sales only please.

I can’t believe this is still here at that price. People don’t understand how good these are?

That’s a deal, though.

Thanks @Larry Cloetta . I think it’s a really good price for this camera, which really is top-of-the-line for Agfa folders. It is built to a very high standard, and the lens is very sharp with nice contrast.
I am moving in a different direction with my photo making, and I just hate to see cameras like this just sitting around. They need to do work!

Agreed. I find it difficult to tell the difference between the Solinar on this and my ol'Hassy 500 with the 80/2.8 Planar....except I can put one in my pocket.
