The Superior is a metal-bodied folding camera for 8x14 cm (3¼x5½ inch) exposures on Agfa G6 size film (122 film).[1] It was made by Agfa in the early 1930s. It has either an f/6.3 Trilinear (a triplet, as the name suggests) or an f/4.5 Solinar lens, and a dial-set Compur shutter. The lens is set in a U-shaped standard, with geared rise and perhaps un-geared, sliding shift. Focusing is by a radial lever on the right of the bed, down to about 1.5 metre. The camera has a brilliant finder, mounted centrally above the lens, and a wire-frame finder. The camera weighs 1.4 kg.
