Hallo,

I'm collecting for about 30 years.

My main interest is everything around Agfa. So Ansco in the US, Gevaert and all the other brands that have a relation to Agfa.

Due to that fact that I can not pass any camera, I also have a lot of other cameras, mainly from Europe. Since I'm interested in mechanical cameras and I bought most of it on fleemarkets the timeframe is from 1900 to 1980

Currently I have around 1200 cameras.

It would be great o find people also interestd in Agfa & Co.

And I'm looking for people in the US, Australia, South America who would like to exchange. Please do not hesitate to ask, I can try to find everything here in Europe.

Best regards
Heiko

Hallo Heiko. I am not an Agfa collector, but I do have a few, a Super Isolette and a Selectaflex with 3 lenses among them. My late father was an Agfa fan.

I have a question for an Agfa expert.

Some time ago an Agfa Automatic 66 came my way, with a dead galvanometer. Do you know of a suitable replacement for that part? I know it is not an easy one, but I guess that the same galvanometer may have been used in other cameras, or lightmeters, or other instruments.

Thanks for any comments!

Hello Hholzheuer and wellcome on this forum. I don't collect Agfa as such but there's some Agfa stuff in my collection, the most items are part of a theme (SLR, early digital, orange buttons

) I've sold most of the "simple" Agfa cameras due to lack of display space.

Here's a few shots of what i've got. The weirdest thing is probably the Agfa studio cam with Nikon F Mount, very little info can be found about it, but it fits in the early digital section nicely.
