Revision as of 15:26, 7 March 2015
In the period 1960-1971, Agfa offered a series of simple cameras for shooting 16 exposures of 4x4 cm on 120 film. (That is, as with the Diana, the exposures are not the full height of the film.)
The different models are distinguished by their lens & shutter specification. The Isoly Junior has a simple meniscus f/11 lens and a one-speed shutter; while the top model Isoly IIIa offers an f/3.5 Color Agnar lens in a Prontor shutter.
