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 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.
