two Afga Isolette II's, one with a plastic bellows Agfa Isolette II viewing from in front close up of Agfa Isolette II Apotar lens and Prontor-SVS shutter

the two types of bellows - the top at one has the Agfa problem - shiny plastic which cracks to produce pin-holes in its corners

costing £14 18s 9d in 1958 that's equivalent to £260 in 2009 using RPI . However, compared to today's average earnings that's £659.
the last-of-the-line Prontor SVS shutter, introduced in 1954, is obvious due to the sideways placement of the flash connector
