I love folding cameras. I sold mine between 2003 - 2005, and it was mint. Even had the brown leather case and neck strap. The lens/shutter looks different on yours than I remember, but that is probably my memory. Enjoy

Yes, it's an Agfa Isolette II. I just got this copy, which was fully serviced with new brown leatherette & red bellows. This was the camera that my dad had to borrow from his colleague and took picture of us growing up in the early 60's. I look forward to using it with mostly with B&W. How do you like yours? Thanks.
Have been dabbling with a black and white rendering of Triple Falls - DuPont Forest from Saturday. Eventually want a b&w print from there. Will look more when I get back home to my big monitor and edit there.

I took a walk along nearby Frankton Beach yesterday (personally I don't think you can have a beach on a lake, only a shore but there you go).
Had to use the D850 and PC 28/3.5 as the GFX batteries were all flat from trying to do astro timelapses and I must say I did not enjoy the lack of mirrorless aids.
Anyway, here it is, Frankton Beach with The Remarkables reflected off Lake Wakatipu

First waist level shots in a long time using the new WLF addon. Cats weren't sure what I was doing. First is hung from my neck while sitting in a chair, and second is with the camera on the ground. D800, 35mm f1.4 ais, tc16a, and WLF.

Beautiful tones achieved and the water is just the right "color".

As to beach versus shore it depends on how you define beach. For example: Lake Michigan has continuous sand (how I define beach - the bit you lay on and bake in the sun, or walk the shore at the water/sand margin) from Chicago to the tip of the Leelanua peninsula (plus much more) of 320miles/510km. Here is a picture from a local county "beach" that dwarfs Sydney's Bondi, or Byron Bay's beach. How do you define "beach"?

I have always preferred low perspectives. I would drop to a squat often, and many of my cameras had waist level finders. As I aged getting up and down got much harder. Last year i did a vinyl floor and a bathroom remodel. I wondered if I would blow a gasket getting up and down so often. I refinished the tub with a 7" grinder, new surround, cupboards, vanity, but the defective leaking comode almost killed me.🤣

This might be a good attachment for street photography too. If I was still shooting for the farmers' market, I would definitely get one.
Rafael, Nothing wrong with it - in fact, Nikon waist level finders would be superior in every way. Nikon doesn't make a FM waist level finder, or any for the "Dxxx"-dslr's

What’s wrong with using this WL. Finder?
