Super Isolette is the name of the top a 6×6 cm folding camera for 120 film made by Agfa. "Super" refers to the inclusion of a coupled rangefinder. (The Isolette II had no rangefinder and on the Isolette III it was uncoupled.) The four-element f/3.5 Solinar was also the highest-grade lens offered among Agfa's folders. These features make the Super Isolette a sought-after camera even today.
