A really nice camera. I have a few agfa isolettes. Same sort of period as your camera. There such a Joy to use. I have a Kodak box camera from about 1915' it cost less the the price of a couple of films. It makes interesting images. I like to use ' fomapan 320 retro, gives a period look. Unfortunately I don't think it's available currently, but I have a good stock of it in the freezer.
👍Bought the successor 521/2 and a 6x6 (521/16), around beginning of year. Meanwhile both cleaned, fixed and first rolls shot with them. But film development pending.
Photos turned out great! I personally like the light leaks, adds a more nostalgic feel! What camera are you using for the pov shots whist your shooting?
Lovely pictures. Particualy like /love the shot looking down the lane at the Thatched Cottage. Really looks period.👍👍
Thank you! I try to take timeless images with old cameras like this...thankfully the modern cars were parked behind the long grass.
Very nice, and good results despite the light leaks.
Thanks! Being so old I'm happy to even get one good shot from the camera but came back with a couple.

beautiful video
Thank you, Chris! And thankyou for still watching my little videos!
Impressive to see see what 'old stuff' can produce; once you manage to get rid of that light incursion, it'll take great images :-)
Now I know where the issue lies I will be using this old geezer more in the future. Many discard old cameras as junk. It's not junk it history!
I just bought a 521/2 out of Japan that Im waiting on.
