Agfa Record III

The Agfa Record III is a straightforward 35mm camera produced by the German manufacturer Agfa between 1952 and 1955. As part of the Agfa Record series, it offered a basic yet functional experience for amateur photographers during the post-war era, likely featuring a simple viewfinder or rangefinder, a fixed or limited choice of lenses, and manual controls for focus, shutter speed, and aperture. Constructed primarily from metal, it embodied the utilitarian character typical of mid-range consumer cameras of its time, focusing on reliable image capture without significant design innovation or technological breakthroughs. Its production span reflects a period when Agfa, alongside other European makers, was solidifying the 35mm format as a viable choice for mass-market photography.
