Description:
The B-2 Cadet was an affordable box camera model produced in the late 1930s by the Agfa-Ansco Corportation of Binghamton, New York. The box-shaped camera is covered in black faux-leather material and has attached on its top surface a leather handle with the model name "B-2 Cadet" embossed. The camera itself is comprised of a single element meniscus lens, simple spring shutter and sliding aperture disc. The shutter speed is approximately 1/60 (of a second). There are two viewfinders on the camera, one for portrait perspective shots and the other for framing in a landscape or horizontal orientation. It takes B 120 roll film, which produces a 6 x 9 inch exposure size. The metal crank for winding the film reads "USE AGFA FILM."
