| Isola in Case |
The Agfa Isola was a line of viewfinder cameras made by Agfa in Germany. There were two versions, Isola I (or just "Isola") and Isola II. The lens was collapsible. The shutter release was interlocked with the lens extension, and the shutter cocked by the winding knob. "Winding required" was shown by a red indicator on the top plate. This meant you could not take a photo without extending the lens and could not make a double exposure.
