| Ansco Super Regent |
The Ansco Super Regent is an Ansco re-badged version of the Agfa Super Solinette, made in Munich, Germany by Agfa. 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, with the shutter speed ring also scaled in Exposure Values, with a pointer coupled to the aperture setting lever. 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. The camera is opened by a release button on the end (seen on the photo just below the rewind knob). Build quality is excellent.
The Ansco Regent is a viewfinder version (without the rangefinder), similar to the Agfa Solinette.
- Shutter: Synchro Compur, 1s-1/500 + B with self-timer and X & M flash sync
- Lens: Solinar 50mm/f3.5, stopping to f22
