The Agfa PD or Agfa Ansco PD 16 were a series of folding cameras for type PD16 roll film (equivalent to Kodak's designation 616). Many models are distinguished only by the lens designations Antar (f/14), or Tripar (f/11). Others are designated "Plenax" (regardless of lens type), and these include a few higher-specification models with Hypar f/6.3 Anastigmat lenses, and shutters offering T, B, 100, 50, and 25 settings.
The Agfa PD16 Clipper was a completely different collapsing design, but accepting the same film size.
All of the punctuation variations PD 16, PD-16, and PD16 may be encountered, as the company itself was not consistent.
