Antique AGFA Standard (6.5x9cm) Type 204 Plate Camera

(1926-1933)

w/ original Agfa metal plate holders and its original case (excellent, clean condition).

Complete, for you to enjoy !

Camera works, shutter fires, speed changes with different settings (which is easy to set, see video clip); aperture is also easy to set and seems to be working.
Only issue is the focus.  It's tight, common for all these cameras from that time.  

Lens (Agfa Anastigmat 10,5cm f6.3) is very clean, free of scratches and fungus, and best of all, does not have much haze which is common for those old lenses.  Check pictures (I have taken several pictures to show how clean the lens is !)

Camera body in nice clean condition.  Leather is nice and smooth and in great shape.
The small door at the back has become loose and came off.  When closed with the clasp, sometimes it's OK, but sometimes it will come off (see pictures).

The velvet seal at the back for the plate holders is light tight !

Bellows is in excellent condition and is also light tight, with no leaks, no pin holes.  See pictures.


Of the 4 metal plate holders, 3 are original "Agfa", 1 is from other maker (maybe Voigtlander).  All seem to be in good condition, with dark slides.

Made in Germany.

This is a solid & handsome small camera.
Complete with the original plate holders and case.

Rare.

Medium format photography in your palm !
