During the WWII years, the Ansco company of Binghamton, New York, severed its partnership with Agfa, known as Agfa Ansco. However, by the early 1950s, Ansco was once again importing Agfa cameras, and rebranding them with Ansco product names. The Ansco Regent was an Agfa Solinette II—a folding, scale focus 35mm camera. (The Apotar lens and Prontor shutter retained their original German branding.)

The Ansco Super Regent was a similar camera (also Agfa-built), with the addition of rangefinder focusing, and was the same as the Agfa Super Solinette.
