Agfas are always interesting cameras. They are usually cheap on e-Bay and can be fine performers.
This is a very inexpensive 6x9 camera and can deliver a very good punch for the money. It feels cheaper compared to the Zeiss Ikontas, but make no mistake: they are very capable shooters. Cheaper than Zeiss but still well made.
The leatherette with the embossed AGFA logo is gorgeous. I prefer this camera rather than the Royer Teleroy.
Always check for the shutter/lens assembly if it's properly aligned and not bent.
This camera has no rangefinder neither lightmeter.
The Solinar lens is a Tessar type, 4 elements and it's decent if stopped down to F8. Remember it's a 6x9 and it's not easy to keep sharp corners with this film size.
Lens: AGFA Solinar 105mm F4.5 single coated, 4 elements (Tessar like)
Shutter: Synchro Compur (B,1s to 1/500s)
Film type: 120 (6x9 frame)
Filter: 37 mm snap-in
