Agfa Standard 208
The Agfa Standard 208 is a folding roll-film camera produced by the German manufacturer Agfa in the early-to-mid twentieth century. It was a consumer-grade folder aimed at amateur photographers who wanted a portable camera for everyday picture-taking.
Sales data for the Standard 208 is very limited, so a reliable price band cannot be established as of today. The single recorded UK auction hammer result stands at £25 (July 2024), which gives a rough indication of what one example sells for at saleroom level rather than a representative market value.

Frequently asked questions
What is an Agfa Standard 208 worth today?
On the available evidence, an Agfa Standard 208 is worth around £25 at UK auction, based on a single 2024 hammer result; with only one data point this should be treated as indicative rather than a firm market price.
How much does an Agfa Standard 208 sell for at auction?
The only recorded UK auction sale we have for this model is £25 in July 2024, so the price a given example sells for will depend heavily on cosmetic condition, bellows integrity and shutter function.
Is the Agfa Standard 208 a good buy at this price?
At around £25 it is priced as a low-cost collectable folder; the value depends almost entirely on whether the bellows are light-tight and the shutter still fires accurately, as repair costs can easily exceed the purchase price.
