My Agfa Clack (or Weekender, depending on which side of the Atlantic your's came from)was a serenpiditous find on ebay some time ago. It was odd, "retro," and cheap: three things that I love in a camera. It was also the first camera I had encountered that shot 120 filmon the obscure "third setting" -- shooting a 6x9 negative, making for only 8 shots per roll of film, compared to the the standard 6x6 negative (12 shots per roll) or the usual alternate 6x4.5 (16 shots per roll). So, it's not the most economical of cameras, but it is certainly worth playing around with from time to time.
