Agfa Synchro Box 600

[@Ybalrid]

This is antoher model of Box camera from Agfa, the Synchro Box has a place to connect a flash (hence the name). Otherwise it's identical. These are fun cameras to use still today. My only 6x9 is one of those actually! (I cannot enlarge those negatives in my darkroom though, max the enlarger I have does is 6x6, and need to swap to the 85mm lens too so it's not the easiest swap) I have a "made in France" Agfa Synchro Box. Between 1949 and the mid 50's Agfa manufactured such cameras directly in France so they could sell them to the french market without having to pay an important duty/tax that existed specifically for photographic equipment. Those more often than not "still works" assuming nothing bad happened th the lens. The shutter is extremely simple. The shutter on these is closer to 1/40 than it is 1/30 as far as I know. You can find an additional "Portrait Lens" (Porträtlinse) that snaps on the front lens. It is a small added magnification that brings the place of focus between 1m and 2m instead of 2m to infinity

Sorry, this is not a Synchro Box, the pins on the top of the Box for the flash are missing and the lettering on the Frontplate "Synchro Box" is missing too. The Box shown in the Video is a Box 50!
