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 has a shoe for a conventional flash. An accessory, the ISI-C, could be inserted into this shoe. One could then use a flash cube. In the base of the Isi-C, a px23 battery of 5.6 volts was needed.
The shutter has two speeds, selected by a slider on the side of the lens (42mm, f11). The film advance is done by a large knob located on top of the camera.
This camera was priced at 62 francs in 1970 (Natkin catalog) or 69 francs in a gift box.
