This is a nice camera with the best of the line Agfa lens.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Agfa-Karat-Prontor-SVS-35mm-Camera-As-Is-1950s-/300555462775?pt=US_Vintage_Cameras&hash=item45fa806877

Its not available to my country otherwise I would buy it.

Someone take advantage.

Nice lens. It sounds as if this one will need a total overhaul. Some of the non-folding Super Silettes also had this lens.

I have one of the Super Silettes with the Solagon.  It's in excellent condition, except that it has got the famous Agfa green grease problem and the focus is frozen solid.  It's on my list for a CLA--probably will eventually send it to Ken Ruth, since Dean isn't taking any work these days.
