Folding 120 Cameras on Consignment

I am very excited to say our point & shoot consignment department has grown recently with many 35mm and 120 additions.

I'd like to share with you a few of the 120 pocket folding cameras:

The first camera I pulled from the box immediately caught my eye, with its lovely 1930's art Deco detailing - "The Billy Record". Made by Agfa it has F-stops F16, F11 and F8.8 and a shutter speed range of 100 to Bulb. It's selling for $40.

The second camera in the box, though lower end, is brilliant! The Kershaw King Penguin Eight-20. Released in the 1950's it has a fixed focus and a very simple design with only two shutter speeds: B, I and two aperture settings: F16 and F11. It's selling for $25.

The third camera is the less stylish Agfa "Billy I", however where it lacks in looks it makes up for in function.  This "Billy I" is fitted with a 105 1:6.3 Agfa Agnar lens and shutter speeds range from 200 to Bulb and its apertures are F6.3, F8, F11, F16, and F22. It's selling for $35

There are many more in the store to choose from. Come by and have a look for yourself!
