The Ansco Super Regent is a re-badged version of the Agfa Super Solinette. A German 35mm folding camera, it has a very nice coupled superimposed rangefinder combined with the viewfinder and an Agfa Solinar f/3.5 50mm lens mounted in a Syncho-Compur shutter. The Solinar is a 4 element, 3 group design similar to the Zeiss Tessar. The frame counter is manually reset, and, surprisingly, the camera uses a round knob for the film advance, although the Agfa Karat, a predecessor, had a rapid advance lever since the late 1930's. Build quality is excellent. The Ansco Regent is a viewfinder version (without the rangefinder), similar to the Agfa Solinette.
