Ive seen one with 50 and one with 75? On 120 format what is that equal to on a 35mm? Would a 50mm be a wide angle? Does anyone know the angle it would be or compared to an 35mm slr? Would it be like a 24mm or so?
Mine has the Agfa Apotar 85/4.5 triplet. There were probably other options but I have never handled one with a 75 nor a 50mm lens.

Ansco (Anthony Scottville) was, by an agreement before WW2, US distributor for Agfa. Agfa products were then rebadged to Ansco when sold in the US. Not sure if these cameras were imported or made in the US, though.

As a side note, the Apotar (a great triplet, close to the Radionar in performance, both two of the triplets that I like best and therefore use most) was not an Agfa design, but something aquired from their merge with Rietschel in 1920s IIRC.
