Chronology of cameras Agfa
Agfa was one of the largest manufacturers of 110 and 126 cameras, along with Kodak. Within the German brand, cameras using the 126 cartridge were called Iso-Pak and Agfamatic.
The first 126 model is called Iso-Pak, in reference to the Pak 126 launched by Kodak in 1963. The shape is very rectangular. The design is not very elaborate, and the result looks quite low-end. It can be used with a conventional flash.
The Iso-Pak C, which soon accompanies it, allows the use of the Flash-Cube. It also introduces a fast advance lever, which is more convenient than the Iso-Pak's dial.
The Iso-Pak CI still retains the rectangular shape, but the technical level is much higher, with a CdS cell and a light indicator in the viewfinder providing information on aperture, battery status, and Flash-Cube condition.
The Iso-Pak remained in the catalog until the arrival of Agfamatic in 1972.
The Iso-Pak C is an evolution of the Iso-Pak to use Flashcubes without the need for an accessory. A battery compartment was therefore added under the camera. The speed selector was moved to the top of the lens. It is no longer a slider that indicates the choice, but the rotation of a ring around the lens. The large film advance knob was replaced by a lever, which allows for faster winding. The shutter is automatically set to 1/40 when the flashcube is inserted. The viewfinder is collimated.
This camera was priced at 101 francs in 1970 and 117 in a gift set (according to the Natkin catalog).
