The thing about bargain cameras is even if the camera doesn't work, the lens likely does since it's much simpler and easier to repair/clean. Still worth it!
I'd like to point out, the Agfa you showed isn't a rangefinder camera, it is a viewfinder camera which you actually said but miscorrected yourself. A rangefinder camera will have 2 optical windows (the second window on your agfa is only for frame lines) and will have a split image that matches up when you get the lens in focus. For a super cheap rangefinder I'd reccomend a FED 3, which is a soviet leica copy. They can be found super cheap and the lenses perform great with b&w film.
Absolutely agreed, The Pracktica I found came with 3 lenses that I use to this day, and gave me the opportunity to shoot other cameras with that lens mount. Thanks for the comment I really appreciate this point!
@@brendonwilson1318I’ve been looking to buy one of them actually! I love the old soviet style cameras especially as they really are built like tanks. Thank you for clearing up the Agfa, it’s been sitting on my shelf for a few months now so I completely forgot :)
