Agfa Super Isolette
The Agfa Super Isolette is a folding medium-format rangefinder camera that takes 6x6 images on 120 roll film. Introduced by Agfa in the early 1950s, it sat at the top of the Isolette folding range when new, with a coupled rangefinder distinguishing it from the simpler scale-focus Isolette models.
At UK auction in recent years, hammer prices for the Super Isolette have ranged from £120 to £250, with only a small number of recorded sales sitting either side of the £180 mark. As of today in 2026, that band reflects what clean working examples sell for at saleroom level, though wholesale auction results exclude buyer's premium and condition variation makes the price highly sensitive to bellows integrity and shutter health.

The two most recent recorded UK auction sales were £119 in late 2024 and £250 in 2023, giving a midpoint near £180 at hammer.
What affects the price of a Super Isolette?
Bellows condition, shutter accuracy and lens clarity drive value most strongly; cameras needing a bellows replacement or full shutter service typically sell at the lower end of the range.
