Chronology of cameras Agfa
They are very classic, made either of cardboard or metal. They have a meniscus lens, usually focusless. Very simple, they have, for most of them, no settings.
The number, which does not appear on the cameras, does not seem to follow any logic.
There are other box cameras that do not fit into this list because they do not have a number.

N° 45 has a more elaborate finish than most of the other models in the series. It has a built-in yellow filter (central pull), but no longer has a lock preventing involuntary shuttering. It has a single-speed shutter + B.
In December 1940, it was sold for 100 francs by Photo-Plait. It is indicated that this is an imposed price.
