These 2 cameras are both Agfa "Standard" folding cameras from the late 1920's. This camera is easily identified by the label "STANDARD" which appears on the handle underneath the lens panel. This handle is for pulling the lens panel out by.
The Agfa Standard was made in a wide variety of versions, differing in shutter/lens and film combinations. The 2 displayed here are just examples of what could be found. Production of the Agfa Standard ranged from 1926 to about 1931.
The one on the left is a 120 rollfilm version, whilst the other one takes plates. In the photo however it is fitted with a 120 rollfilm back. So far only the 120 rollfilm version has been tested. The plate version is missing its ground glass focussing screen and plateholder. The camera itself seems to be in good working order - but the rollfilm back needs some attention.

Photo of Fleet pond taken with Agfa Standard 120 rollfilm. The edges of the picture clearly show some light leaking. This may be due to the fact the red window doesn't have a cover.
This is a closeup of the above picture - showing that the lens does capture quite a lot of detail. This is a direct scan of a contact print at 300dpi. The actual area of the negative used is about 1cm x 1.5cm
