And yes, there really is a camera named Billy, and he comes in many variations. Agfa Billy Compur Agfa Billy Vintage 1949 ca. 1951 Shutter Type Compur Vario Shutter Speeds B, 1-300 B, 25, 50, 200 Lens 4 element Solinar 3 element Agnar.

I finally acquired what I consider to be one of the prettiest folding cameras made, an Agfa Billy Compur, circa 1948-49 Agfa Billy Compur This model was top of the Agfa Billy range of folding cameras using 120 roll film, a series that ran from 1934 to 1949. It has the fine 105mm Solinar f/4.5 lens and the rimset Compur Shutter with speeds from 1 to 1/250th, though I believe there were a few examples with a 1/500th top speed. While these specifications indicate that this is an example of the second variant of the Agfa Billy Compur, it lacks the 'Compur' name stamped into the leatherette, and the double exposure prevention device. There seems to be dozens of variations in the Agfa Billy Record/Compur range of cameras. While this example is in very good condition, it suffers from the common problem of the focusing being rendered immobile by the ancient Agfa green grease.

The front element is immovable in the helical. I have sorted this problem with other cameras by removing the two front elements contained in the focusing helical and soaking them in solvent for a prolonged period; I have had success using naptha (lighter fluid) and also denatured alcohol (methylated spirits). I know other members claim success by placing the unit in a hot oven until the grease softens, but I'm just not too keen on that idea. Does anyone have any new advice to offer, before I make my move? Thanks, David, I'm pleased to report that success has been achieved.

I removed the elements and soaked them in denatured alcohol in a little lidded plastic container for 48 hours; it's a pleasant (relatively speaking) substance to use, being non-corrosive, sticky or oily. I have several sets of so-called 'filter wrenches', toothed circular plastic devices designed to remove filters frozen onto lenses,and the smallest of these fitted the Agfa lens, so I thought I'd try with these. Somewhat to my surprise, the lenses began to grudgingly unscrew, though they fought right down to the final thread. I soaked the separated lenses for a further 24 hours to soften up the grease, and got to work with a variety of weapons, including toothpicks and toothbrushes and a dentist's pick to clear the remaining grease out of the threads. Yesterday I lubricated and reassembled the lens, colliminated it and took the camera out for a test run.

I've posted a few samples over in the current 'Film Camera Week' thread; I think the work was worth the effort.

Traxxas serial number a0457365. Agfa was a German manufacturer of cameras, films and photographic chemicals founded in 1867. Until 2004, Agfa had produced films in a large variety of formats, including 110 and 126 cartridges, 135 cassettes, 120 rolls and its own invention, the Agfa Rapid (easy-load 35mm film with a twin-cassettes system). As for film camera production, starting from the plate/pack film “Agfa Standard” series in 1926, Agfa made folding cameras, box cameras, viewfinders, rangefinders, TLRs, and SLRs in almost all film formats commercially available in the 20th century (110, 126, 120, 620, 616, 127, 135, APS, and Rapid). During the late 1990’s, Agfa also produced entry-level point-and-shoot digital cameras under the name “ePhoto”. Today, though the company had ceased operation, the name “Agfa” is still used on some licensed products just like another famous brand name, “Polaroid”. The camera of this article is an Agfa Billy I.

It is a 120 format, 6×9 folding camera introduced in 1950. This particular copy was manufactured in 1950~51 because in 1952, a tiny optical viewfinder replaced the metal-frame glassless one shown in top figure.

Unlike the two Kodak folders (the and the ) I have, the Agfa Billy I only has one tripod socket on the “lens cover” plate and none on the bottom. This makes shooting horizontal photos on tripod more difficult as the camera body might interfere with the movements of the tripod head. However, its film loading mechanism is a bit more advance and secure than the two pre-war Kodak’s (as shown in the figure below) and like the Vigilant Six-20, it has a metal cover for the red window that is used to read frame counter on the film’s backing paper. Most Agfa Billy I has an Agnar 105mm f6.3 lens with a Vario shutter (as shown in the figure below) though some with the same lens has a Pronto shutter with an additional speed at 1/100 seconds. According to an, the Agnar is a 3-element/3-group design which resembles the more well-known. Beside the cable-release socket at the lens, the standard shutter release mechanism is connected with a metal-rod so that the user can depress a lever close the camera body to fire the shutter. This is not shown in the figure because the photo was taken after I dropped and broke the camera (the lever/rod is shown in the “broken camera” photo at the very end though).
