Photo walk with @klawe and my Agfa Box 44. The Agfa Box 44 was built between 1932 and 1936. It is one of the most successful and best selling cameras in history, thanks to a brilliant sales idea. The buyer had to pay the camera with four 1 mark pieces. These coins must have the letters A G F A (marking of the mint). There were sold about 1,000,000 pieces. The Agfa Box 44 was very simply built. The housing is mainly made of cardboard. The front and rear fronts are made of sheet metal. The aperture is fixed f / 11. The shutter is about 1/30 s. That is, the only "set screw" is the sensitivity of the film. I am satisfied with the result. I received the box from a friend after years in the cellar. I will lovingly call the box "rust cardboard". Developed in Kodak D76 stock for 8,5 minutes.

    Unbelievable - to get this out of the old Agfa box! I have one as well but lenses are very clouded and first results rather bad.

    Thank you @rolfmg, I was also positive about the results. Although I had cleaned the box before, as well as I could, but that the corpus had survived so well in the cellar all those years surprised me as well!
