This is an Agfa Parat 1 introduced in 1963 and still being actively sold in the UK in 1965/66. It is a half frame camera and is the fully manual version of the Agfa Paramat. This particular example has been used - but suffers from light leaking around the back. Otherwise it is in working order. In 1963 it cost (pounds, shillings and pence) £12 19s 6d, plus an additional £1 16s 3d for a pouch case. As they were only made for a short period - the Parat 1 is not common today. However it is possible that examples will be available at quite low prices. Dealers who specialise in half frame will value it higher and will probably want £25-£50 for one.
