Chronology of cameras Agfa
The name Standard was used by Agfa to designate both cameras and folding cameras.
The folding cameras are cameras with a 6 x 9 or 6.5 x 11 format. Each model is identified by a code that indicates its size, lens and shutter.

The Type 265 is a 6.5 x 11 camera equipped with a rangefinder coupled to the distance scale. Various catalogs showcasing this model use the term "téléviseur" (television) instead of rangefinder. It is identical to the Type 255. The price difference between these two models is substantial. In 1932 at Tiranty, the Type 255 cost 450 francs in the version with a lens aperture of 6.3, and the Type 265 with the same lens cost 595 francs.
This model is referred to as the Standard CRF in McKeown's guide.
