Agfa Parat-I half-frame film camera – 72 shots per 35mm roll
-
Rare vintage Agfa Parat-I half-frame film camera for sale.
Made from (I think) 1963-68, these unusual compact half-frame cameras use normal 35mm film but take 18 x24mm images in portrait format, giving 72 shots on a 36 exposure roll or 48 on a 24 frame roll.
The Agfa Parat-I had a good quality Color-Apotar lens with f22 – f2.8 aperture, shutter speeds are 1/30, 1/60, 1/125 and B.
It is fully manual, with no light meter, has a flash shoe, and is manual focus by distance scale.This one is in really excellent condition and can’t have been used more than a couple of times. The lens is perfectly clear, everything works perfectly and I have film tested it. It even comes in it’s original box with manual.
This is a great collectors item or a nice toy for someone, and a really fun way to play around with film, creating accidental or on-purpose diptychs, panoramas or whatever you can think of. Or just spending less on film and processing.
I’m picking a number out of the air at EUR100 but offers welcome.
