No' I'm not gonna bid on it. With that kind of money IO could get a decent wide-zoom for the *ist D (to replace my faulty Tokina AT-X 28-70mm - wich is at the repair shop currently ). With 4 hours left and 270 GBP it could go above 500 USD. However there's one more, a little less nice (judging from the photographs) - 6 days left at currebtly 150 GBP. However, I have bid for a Non Coupled Isolette III, which is quite as good, but less convenient and not as fast to use.
I already have a Agfa Record (6x9), but unfortunately not the best one, wich has a Solinar lens, which is better than any Agnar or Apotar. The best one is called Record III and is range4finder and usually as expensive as the Isolette CRF. The only "real compeditors" are the old Zeiss Ikon metered rangefinders. They are quite expensive and bulky. Even Zeiss Jena (DDR) made some 6x6 ramgefinders, but they quite rare and often faulty.
