Agfa Billy 0 (Zero) c. 1932 - 1937
I have owned one for about two years now but have only seen 4 Billy Zeros mentioned on the WWW. Three of the four, as is mine, were fitted with Agfa's Solinar lens and a FD Compur shutter. The Compur shutter for 1932 offered a very wide variety of options. f-3.9 to f-32 and Sec. T, B, 1 to 300. The Agfa Solinar lens for years (1932 - 195?) was their finest. It is possible the finest clone ever made of the Carl Zeiss Tessar. Additional data about the Billy Zero also marketed as the Agfa Speedex is difficult to find. Any additional information would be appreciated.
The link will show the Billy and some of it's work: http://www.kelticknot.us/page%2008.05.10_1.html
