6x9 additions

[Mitica100]

I just won two bids on two 6x9 cameras, an AGFA Billy Record C (I believe with the Gauthier shutter) and a Kodak Six 20. Can't wait to get them and do the cleaning, revamping... :mrgreen:

The AGFA takes softer pictures, I understand, it's got a weird lens on, but I've seen some nice shots on the web, besides it was very cheap.

Oh well... Tax refund money. :mrgreen:

Good buys, if that's what you want. :thumbsup:

It's called Jgestar or Jgetar. The aperture is either 6.3 or 8.8. Go figure!...

All my tax money is going to the air conditioning guy this year...it's so depressing. :thumbdown: But at least my darkroom will stay cool and dry. :mrgreen:

This is the AGFA Billy Record, although the one I got has the Art Deco nickel sides. And I believe it's another shutter altogether, a Gauthier.

And that's the Six 20, apparently made in the UK.

I'll deliver better pics when they arrive.
