When not in use, the lens can be folded into the camera itself. I got pretty excited, as they said, film photography is all about the film and not the box itself.Īgfa isolette III is a folding camera. By chance, I came across an Agfa Isolette III, a clean and functional 60+ years old 6×6 medium format camera for sub £100. Yes, that’s nowhere near the price for a digital medium format camera but my wallet said films are not to die for… well, not yet anywhere. To find a functional copy of one of these we are talking £1000+. They have been crowned kings for good reasons but fame comes with a high price tag. If you have searched for any film cameras or watch any YouTube videos about medium format film cameras, you will have definitely heard of some of the holy grail medium formats: The Mamiya RZ67, Mamiya 7, Pentax 67, Hasselblad 500c/m etc.
Although I am getting a lot of pleasure out of shooting full-frame (because, of course, my fuji is APSC), we all know this road only leads down one direction… inevitably, I want to shoot bigger format and the next sensible step is medium format. A hobby essentially burning all my hard-earned money in exchange for some photo of my cat and some rocks on the beach. Some of you may know that I have got myself into this trend of film photography.
