Chronology of cameras Agfa
Agfa has manufactured in Germany and other countries a series of 6 x 9 cm box cameras whose only name is a number.
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.

The Box No 94 from Agfa is also called Box B2 because the maker recommended to load it with Agfa B2 film.
This 6x9 format box is very classic. A side lever allows to choose between snapshot or bulb exposure. The shutter release may be blocked by means of a mechanism actuated by a small lever.
The only noticeable feature on this camera is the nicely decorated front face.
It may also be noted that the lens is mounted on the internal block supporting the film. The shutter is installed on the front face of the camera and therefore is located in front of the lens.
