Description

The Isolette II is the second in Agfa's Isolette series of medium format folders. It was produced during the 1950s, and typically came equipped with an Apotar 85mm lens and a Prontor-S or Compur-Rapid shutter, though later models used the Prontor-SVS.

Operation

If the film advance is not wound - with or without film - the shutter release is blocked. This safety feature only effects the top-mounted shutter release button, however. The actual shutter (on the lens) can be operated with a cable release, and even allows for double exposures.

Film is advanced manually by turning a film advance knob until the next frame number appears in the red window on the back of the camera.
