Agfa Billy 0 with ensemble |
The Agfa Billy 0 (Zero) is a German 127 film 4×6.5 folding camera, made from c.1932 to 1937.
At least four examples have been observed on the Internet with an Agfa Solinar 75mm lens and an FD Compur shutter, including that pictured in this page at www.kelticknot.us. The Compur shutter for 1932 offered a very wide variety of options. f-3.9 to f-32 and Sec. T, B, 1 to 300. The Agfa Solinar lens for years (1932 - 195?) was their finest. It is possibly the finest clone ever made of the Carl Zeiss Tessar. Additional data about the Billy Zero, also marketed as the Agfa Speedex, is difficult to find. Any additional information would be appreciated.
