Agfa Billy - 06-24-2011, 04:35 PM


I've decided to shoot some film with an Agfa Billy that I've had just for decoration. It is in excellent condition and I think it will work fine. However... now this is embarrassing... I can't figure out how to get it open to load the film.

Anyone familiar with this camera and how the heck to open it?

If the hinge is opposite the strap, you pull the strap up and open the back.

May be a button or catch of some sort on the strap mount.


Just send a check when you get a chance......
