Agfa's Isolette series seems to me to be so well known that I avoided it for quite some time on the grounds that it was simply too obvious of a choice. Eventually I gave in but only on the condition that it had an Apotar instead of an Agnar lens, and at least a Prontor-S (if not SV or SVS) shutter instead of the lower-end Vario or Pronto. I finally did, and, well, it turns out to be a fun and well made compact 6x6 shooter.
