Agfa Parat I
The Agfa Parat I is a half-frame 35mm viewfinder camera made by Agfa, producing 18×24mm negatives on standard 35mm film and so doubling the frame count per cassette. It sat in the affordable end of Agfa's 35mm range when introduced.
Sales data for the Parat I is extremely thin: a single UK auction hammer result of £19 in 2022 is the only verified reference point we have for what one is worth today. On that basis the camera sells for pocket-money money at saleroom level, though one data point is not enough to define a reliable price range, and condition and working order will swing any individual value either way.

Frequently asked questions
What is an Agfa Parat I worth today?
Evidence is limited to a single 2022 UK auction sale at £19 hammer, so a working example is realistically a low-double-digit camera rather than a collector-priced one.
How much does an Agfa Parat I sell for at auction?
The only verified UK auction price on file is £19, which suggests the model trades at the budget end of the half-frame market when it appears in general camera lots.
Is the Agfa Parat I a half-frame camera?
Yes, the Parat I is a 35mm half-frame camera, exposing 18×24mm frames so a 36-exposure cassette yields roughly 72 shots.
