Agfa Ambi Silette

[lxmike]

Hi has anyone used or ever owned a Ambi Silette, I've been offered two bodies plus 35, 50, and 90mm lenses for £80GBP, I know this is a good price, the cameras are fully working and the lenses clear, clean with smooth focusing. Any thoughts on these cameras would be helpfull, thanks

I own a Ambi Silette. Like on many other Agfas the right side of the body and the position of the release button are not made perfectly for my hands. The advance lever is a pita, it lies in a little concave bed and has to be poked out with the thumb.
BUT the Solinar 50mm is a killer lens imo, the shutter is very quiet and the finder is good too. I would not wait a moment to get this kit! So, if you decide to buy it not, ...
