This is an Agfa PD16 Clipper camera, a vintage medium format camera that was produced by Agfa Ansco. The Agfa PD16 Clipper was one of the first cameras produced after the merger of German company Agfa and American company Ansco, forming Agfa-Ansco. This camera uses 616 film, a now-discontinued medium format film size. It features a rare collapsing design where the lens board pulls out for use and collapses for compactness. It has a fixed focus lens and a simple shutter with I (instant) and B (bulb) settings. The camera has a simple pop-up viewfinder located on the top plate between the film advance and rewind knobs. The lens needs to be expanded before use by pulling out the lens plate until two metal tabs lock it into position. The self-cocking shutter is triggered by a lever near the lens. It’s old and was part of a display not sure if it works. Perfect for everyday use. top-grade materials and excellent craftsmanship ensure long-lasting durability.
