The previous owner had it overhauled by Jurgen Kreckel, a phenomenon when it comes to CLAs of folder cameras. ![]() The wine red leathered Super Isolette immediately made my heart beat faster. Not many Super Isolettes have come on the market, which complicates the search for this top Agfa model. The rapid decline in sales of 120 film in favor of the many times more popular 135 film and growing market for 35mm cameras was to blame. Yet the success of the camera came decades after its first production in 1954. A camera that has aroused much envy from Leica and Zeiss Ikon. In the case of the Agfa Super Isolette, made in Berlin, the unanimous opinion is that it is the best medium format folder ever made. There is always much debate as to what makes a camera the best in its class.
