The Agfa PD 16 or Agfa Ansco PD 16 were a series of folding cameras for type PD16 roll film (equivalent to Kodak's designation 616). Many models are distinguished only by the lens designations Antar (f/14), or Tripar (f/11). Others are designated "Plenax" (regardless of lens type), and these include a few higher-specification models with Hypar f/6.3 Anastigmat lenses, and shutters offering T, B, 100, 50, and 25 settings.

The Agfa PD16 Clipper was a completely different collapsing design, but accepting the same film size.

Folding cameras made for PD16 film were also made in the Ansco Readyset series.

All of the punctuation variations PD 16, PD-16, and PD16 may be encountered, as the company itself was not consistent.
