CLA'D Agfa Record III with Blue Bellows & Solinar Pics

MineSix66 · 08-29-2008

I recently took pictures with my Agfa Record III that I re-adjusted, cleaned and installed a new bellows. Here is one pic that I took at Grand Haven, Michigan, USA. I scanned the Fuji 100 Provia using an Epson 4990 Photo without the dust removal, as you can see. The negative looks sharper than the scan.

certainly a striking looking camera MS66!

where did you get the bellows from? are they leather or some other material?

The blue bellows look really good on that Record III. I've also used camerabellows.com - but was not aware that they offered colors other than black.

A tip on using the Record III - a soft-release button screwed into the stock shutter release seems to lessen camera shake. Try it.

Could you show me a picture or where I can get such a object? I really like this agfa, I have it in the metric version also.

Well that would be none other than Tom Abrahamsson - an RFF member.
