— McKeown’s Price Guide, 1997–98, p. 23
{"overview":"The Akarelle is a 35mm viewfinder camera made by the West German maker Apparate & Kamerabau (AkA) of Friedrichshafen. Today, condition, completeness of the lens\/shutter assembly, and which interchangeable-front variant is offered are the factors most likely to move the price when one does appear at saleroom level in 2026.","buying_guide":"As with most German leaf-shutter cameras of this era, the practical concerns are a sluggish or sticky shutter, haze and fungus in the viewfinder and taking lens, and light-seal deterioration around the back.
