I've been hit by the MF folder bug and have my eyes set on the Super Isolette or its Ansco twin. I have kept a watch on ebay but none is coming up.
Does anyone know where I can usually find one for sale or somebody wants to part with his/her. Really appreciate any pointers. Thanks.

The Super Isolettes sell regulary at ebay. I saw 4 sales the last month allthough most in Europe.

Times are tough at our house. Thinking of selling all but one of my folders. See pix on another of my posts. Private message and save me the fees at a well known internet auction site.

Hi, I'm looking for a Ansco Super Spedex or Agfa Super Isolette.
Do you by chance have one or know where I might find one?
Thanks,
Jeff Z

If I were buying one (Isolette/Speedex)(again), I'd be very careful about the bellows (maybe they are all bad). Try to find one that has the bellows replaced and done right. You can easily repair the other problems with these cameras, but the bellows is hard to try it yourself, and new bellows are hard to find.

I got my Super Isolette via Flickr. I asked a Flickr member who posted Super Isolette pictures if he was willing to sell his camera.
After a few months he mailed me that he wanted to sell.
In contrary of the Ebay offerings I got my Super Isolette for a very reasonable price (125, euro's). Maybe a tip to ask a Flickr member if he want to sell his camera. It worked for me.
BTW, the Super Isolette's bellows is from a better material as the common Isolettes.
It's wise though to have it CLA'd, which isn't that expensive, to check the shutter and smoothness of focussing.
