Agfa Automatic 66
The Agfa Automatic 66 is a medium-format roll-film camera producing 6×6cm negatives, made by the German manufacturer Agfa. It sits in the post-war German camera lineage as a folding-style 120 rollfilm model aimed at enthusiast photographers.
Auction evidence for the Automatic 66 is thin, but the two recorded UK auction hammer results sit at £625 and £750, suggesting that clean, working examples have sold for around £630–£750 at saleroom level. With so few data points, today's market value is best treated as indicative rather than settled, and condition plus completeness of the original kit will swing what any given example sells for.
