Agfa Karat 4.5, vintage 35mm folding camera, lens Oppar 4.5/55, rapid cassette. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.

Agfa was well known for their high quality German made medium format cameras by this point. That was until there was a very important advancement in photography in the mid 1930s. The 35mm cassette hit the market with resounding success. Agfa wanted a competitor to Kodak’s new film design. They wanted an easy system with little room for error. Later re released as rapid cartridges to compete with the new 126 cassettes Kodak was producing, the initial Agfa Memo and Karat line of cameras was the first to dawn this new Karat cartridge format. The second iteration of the Agfa Karat was a redesign, getting rid of the Art Deco ascetic as well as updating features. Of the two redesigned Karat models to come out of 1938, the Agfa Karat 4.5 was the higher end model with the faster lens.
