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 Synchro Box is named so because it is equipped with a connection for a branded flash. This feature is visible on the top of the camera.
This particular model was manufactured in Germany, but production also took place in France and India.
This copy is equipped with an accessory close-up lens.
