Description
The Agfa Billy Clack Folding Pocket Camera is a vintage camera from the 1930s, embodying the Art Deco style popular during that era. It is a folding camera that uses 120 roll film, producing square 6×9 cm images. The camera is part of Agfa’s Billy series, known for their compact design, ease of use, and portability.
The Billy Clack features a folding bellows design, allowing the camera to be collapsed into a more compact size when not in use, making it easy to carry in a pocket or small bag. The camera typically comes with a fixed lens, often an Agfa Agnar 105mm f/6.3 or a similar lens, paired with a simple shutter system offering a few speeds, such as 1/25, 1/50, and 1/100 seconds, with a B (bulb) mode for longer exposures.
The Clack part of the name comes from the distinct “clack” sound made by the shutter when it’s released, a characteristic of the camera. The camera has manual focus and lacks an exposure meter, meaning the photographer needs to rely on their understanding of light or estimation for proper exposure.
The Agfa Billy Clack was popular with amateur photographers due to its simplicity and affordability. Today, it is a collectible piece for vintage camera enthusiasts, appreciated for its nostalgic Art Deco aesthetic and as part of Agfa’s legacy in the history of folding cameras.
