Photographs taken in Looe, Cornwall by Roger Hayman

The Agfa Speedex 0, also called the Billy 0, was the 127 version of a range of Agfa folding cameras, and was made between 1935 and 1938. It has a metal body with a striking Art-Deco design, and takes 8 photos per roll. On my camera the opening mechanism was rather stiff, and the f3.9 Solinar lens was disappointingly soft. This was probably due to a fault, as Agfa lenses are usually excellent.
