1. Plaubel Roll-Op w/accessories
An amazingly compact little camera with a built-in, coupled rangefinder, a 75mm lens that opens to f2.8, an auto-stop winding system/counter…all from the 1930s.
The lens is Plaubel’s own House-brand, Anticomar 7.5cm f2.8. It is uncoated. It sits in a compur shutter with speeds from 1sec to 1/400. I have never been able to get either the “B” or “T” setting to work, but I never missed them either. This is not a camera for astro photography.
The rangefinder is a curious, but effective, “split image” type, where two images are stacked on top of each other. You simply use the focusing tab to line them up.
Winding is either with the red windows on the back, or you can use the Plaubel “auto-stop” system on the bottom.
More detailed info and a tutorial on its use can be found here: https://www.petrakla.com/pages/the-classic-prewar-plaubel-roll-op
Everything works correctly - shutter is accurate, lens is free of haze and fungus, peep-hole viewfinder is clear. Rangefinder is as accurate as it needs to be. The winder works, but sometimes will result in very close frames at the end of a roll. I suspect this has something to do with the thicknesses of today’s films.
Comes with a push-on series VI filter adaptor, a yellow and a ND filter, and a series VI hood.
Asking $200 for the set. This is a steal. Price includes PP fees and shipping to CONUS. USA sales only please.
SOLD. 2. Agfa Isolette III (overhauled)
The desirable version with the Solinar 75mm lens. The lens is coated, clean and clear, and the shutter is accurate at all speeds. The uncoupled rangefinder is spot on. Viewfinder is also clean and clear.
Makes wonderful 6x6 cm negatives in a compact, pocketable, package.
This example works perfectly - I purchased it several years ago from Certo6, who completely overhauled it and put on new bellows. It is a perfect hiking camera.
Camera only. Asking $250 including PP fees and shipping to CONUS. USA sales only please. SOLD.
