Agfa's coupled-rangefinder Silette — 1955 35mm fixed-lens camera, Apotar/Solinar/Solagon variants

The Agfa Super Silette was the coupled-rangefinder branch of Agfa's long-running Silette family of 35mm fixed-lens cameras, introduced in 1955. Where the plain Silette was a scale-focus viewfinder camera, the Super Silette added rangefinder focusing for the growing amateur market. In the USA the same camera was sold by Ansco as the Super-Memar.

Several lens and shutter combinations were offered: an Agfa Apotar or Color-Apotar f/2.8 in a Prontor-SVS shutter, a Solinar in a Synchro-Compur, and from 1956 a six-element Color Solagon 50mm f/2 in Synchro-Compur, which collectors now regard as the most desirable version. A restyled second model of 1960 had a flat top plate with recessed rewind knob and carried a Color-Apotar 45mm f/2.8 in Prontor-SVS. Exposure is fully manual and the camera works without batteries.

It suits film shooters who want a compact 1950s German rangefinder without Retina prices. The all-mechanical operation makes it a good learning tool, though the squinty finder and front-cell focusing on lesser lens variants set limits. Solagon-equipped examples are the ones enthusiasts hunt for.

When buying used, check the rangefinder patch for contrast and correct coupling, and run the leaf shutter through its speeds, as slow speeds often stick after decades without service. Agfa lubricants of this era are notorious for setting hard, so stiff focusing helicals are common and may need a strip-down. Verify which lens/shutter combination is fitted, since value varies considerably across variants.
