Agfa Isolar

{"overview":"The Agfa Isolar is a folding plate camera produced by the German manufacturer Agfa in the early twentieth century. With limited recent data, today's value for a typical example is best treated as broadly in line with that figure at saleroom level, before commission. Condition of the bellows, shutter and lens glass remains the main driver of what an Isolar sells for.","buying_guide":"Inspect the bellows for pinholes, the shutter for sticking speeds, and the lens for haze, fungus or separation, as these are the most common faults on folding cameras of this age. Check that the struts lock firmly when the camera is opened, and that the ground glass and any plate or film holders are present and intact.
