The Ansco Super Speedex is a folding 6×6 120 film medium format camera with coupled rangefinder. This camera is the American market version of the Agfa Super Isolette and was sold between 1954 and 1957.
This camera has a better fit and finish than all other Speedexs, and is fitted with a 75mm F3.5 Solinar lens (4 elements in 3 groups) with unit focusing and coupled rangefinder. The shutter is either Synchro-Compur MX or Synchro-Compur MXV, B,1-500 range. Both these shutters are synchronised for flash. There is a double-exposure prevention interlock, with an indicator window by the shutter release. The film advance knob is on the right of the top housing. There is a film-type reminder on the left, in a knurled disc matching the film-advance. Film transport is automatic, and there is no red window in the back. The lens can accept 32 mm slip-on filters or 29.5 mm screw-in ones.
