Ansco B 2 Cadet Antique Box Camera

Ansco B2 Cadet Vintage Box Camera The Ansco B-2 Cadet was introduced in the in the late 1930’s. There were two models of Cadets available during this time, one under the name Ansco and one sold as an Agfa. These two models were built in New York, even though Agfa was a German Company. The Ansco Cadet is a B-2, which designates that the camera will accept Agfa B-2 film. What we would commonly call 120mm film today.

The camera is very simple to use and features a shutter lever, a film advance knob. Simple as that. The shutter that Ansco provided is an “always off” shutter, functioning much like a modern camera. A single lever actuates the shutter at 1/50-1/60 sec.
