Agfa 8 x 10 Camera can you tell me the age?

I have a Agfa 8 x 10" camera that is part of a collection of large

format cameras,lens and an enlarger (Omega 8 x 10) that was passed

to me a departed frend 92. I hope that someone out there can look at

the photos and tell me the age. I have sent a Email to Richard

Knoppow to see if he can help. Thanks Steve<div></div>

It looks like a afga-ansco univeral view, these were manufactured from 1926 to 1935. Great looking camera.

This was my first 8x10 view camera in the 1950's. If you are interested in using it to make photographs you will not be disappointed. The front can be easily modified for tilt.

Steve,

 

I can't provide a date, but I'll "second" Merg's observation that you've got a very usable camera. I've got the same model in 5x7 and it is a classic design with plenty of moves and locks down rock solid as well as being a thing of beauty itself. An interesting feature on the 5x7 and no doubt the 8x10 as well, is that you can reverse the position of the body on the extension rail. For micro work, you can run the front standard out to focus, or if you're using a wide lens you can reverse the camera on the rail so the front standard is run out and you focus by moving the rear standard backward(towards you) like a tailboard camera, so the rail isn't in the shot.

 

Have fun!

Thanks for the INFO from you all. If you wood like see more photos of the compleet kit,lens other items that came with this camera I can send them on. I plan to go to 2-1/4 format I think.

Thanks Steve Jensen
