I picked this camera up from a local (Bucuresti) second hand camera store. It was 90Euros in working and clean condition. It is really fun to work with. It has an uncopuled rangefinder marked in feet. :)
And it is so portable. I keep it in my jeans pocket like a large old mobile phone.
But the main reason why I bought this is to help me stay away from this new Fuji/Bessa colapsible. It was maybe 5% from the price of this new toy.
I will put some images in the next hour.
 
And here are the pictures. Sorry for the dust in the scanner.
It is shot on rollei retro 400 (same as APX400 AFAIK) and scanned on Epson V700 flatbed.

The Agifold is a 6x6 camera. Do you know which version you have? I have the later version. It's quite a simple, yet well made camera, part from the cocking lever being in an odd place.

The lens isn't too bad, and is quite nice when used wide open:

Hey, nice pics.
Makes me want to give my Agifold Agilux 6x6 a spin. I've never tried it!
If Stefan dunu's cam is the same size he must have some damned impressive jeans to keep it in his pocket.....
 
I didn't say I am comfortable with the camera in my jean's pocket. But it fits there in all my jeans. :)
I don't know where I got the idea that is a 6x7, but I do prefer the square format.
Lovely picture Headland.
 
As I said in the Lordomat thread I've come across some gear I didnt know I had. Another item is this Agilux Agifold. Its in fair condition and the lens is clear. It doesnt really excite me as it's just not my thing but the Agifold shots Ive seen look pretty good.
