I have found two 6x9s for the same price at different locations. The Zeiss has Tessar

105mm f/3.5 lens in a Compur Rapid shutter with X sync. The Agfa Record 111 has

Solinar 4.5 lens - 105mm & Synchro Compur shutter. Both seem to be in excellent

condition.

I need help, I want sharp images. I am leaning towards the f/3.5 for lower light, but

does anyone have any suggestions/ recommendations? I want a 6x9 lightweight

camera. I need help with this somewhat pricey decision.......

Or, if you think there is another less expensive alternative, let me know. I have carried

my battleship of a Pentax 67 around for so long I have shoulder problems : ).

Although it has served me well... I need less weight at a lower cost.

Thanks very much in advance for your wisdom,

Wow, thanks everyone. I might be interested in making my own bellows- then I might

be able to solve problems for many of us. : ) I will try to find the book and attempt it.

Also, since I am not too confident in that endeavor, Winfried I'd certainly be willing to

buy some Agfa bellows from you. I just bought an Agfa Isolette III and hope to replace

those -- as it is definitely in need. I am looking for a usable 6x9 folder with a good

sharp lens, but can't decide which is best to buy ( that's within my price range).

Suggestions appreciated....

Again thanks... If I discover some phenomenally straightforward solution for this

problem I will certainly let you know. I'll be experimenting...

Hi everyone,

I have fallen in love with old folding cameras. I have been able to repair almost

everything, but can't find replacement bellows. Zeiss Ikonta / Agfa Billy/ Ansco

Speedex/ Agfa isolette III ... well I'm addicted. I also love taking pictures with them ,

so I want them to be in working order. I love to fix things, but alas the bellows issue

has left me in a pinch. Some I can repair, but some need to be replaced. I know there

is a place in England, but how about the US? Anyone have any ideas??

Thanks in advance for any help.

Take Care
