Chronology of cameras Agfa
This Isolar model was produced from 1927 to 1935. There are two types: the 404 and the 408. The standard model is covered in black leather with a black bellows and orange logo(s).
The luxury (Luxus) model is covered in brown leather with a Havana-colored bellows and a black or orange logo. This particular specimen is ambiguous because the body is Havana-colored, but the bellows are black. This aspect can be explained by the replacement of the worn bellows.
The diamond-shaped logo is placed on the base of the carriage. On this model, there is a second logo on the shutter. The name "Isolar" is engraved on the handle.
When fully extended with the window closed, it is 30 cm long. This length is possible because it is a double-extension camera. There are two rails, one above the other, each of which is extendable thanks to a rack and pinion operated by a screw.
This camera was intended for experienced amateur photographers and cost 90 Reichsmarks.
All 408 models accept glass plates and sheet film in the 9 x 12 format
