Hope I won't have upset too many people by the edits I have just done (I removed most of the text references to the J spelling; it was raised every other sentence, and was distracting). There was a duplicate page on the 'Agfa Isolette'; it was significantly less good than this one, so I incorporated the 'I' here and deleted that page. The 'V' didn't have a page, so I added that too. It would make sense to move the II and III to this page too; I may do that next (but not today).
