Agfa Box 47 (Mithra)

The Agfa Box 47 (Mithra) was a basic 35mm camera produced in 1946–1947 during the challenging post-World War II period in Germany. Designed as a simple, utilitarian snapshot camera, it utilized the then-emerging 135 film format, making compact photography more accessible to the general public. As a "Box" camera, it likely featured a fixed-focus lens and a simple shutter mechanism, prioritizing ease of use and affordability over sophisticated features. Its production during this transitional time reflects Agfa's efforts to resume camera manufacturing and meet the pent-up demand for affordable photographic equipment after the war years.
