The Agfa PD 16 or Agfa Ansco PD 16 were a series of folding cameras for type PD16 roll film (equivalent to Kodak's designation 616). The Plenax camera was manufactured by the Agfa Company from 1935 to approximately 1941. Designed as a low cost folding bed roll film camera. Many models are distinguished only by the lens designations Antar (f/14), Hypar (f6.3), or Tripar (f/11). Others are designated "Plenax" (regardless of lens type), and these include a few higher-specification models with Hypar f/6.3 Anastigmat lenses, and shutters offering T, B, 100, 50, and 25 settings. The approximate max width is 7 1/2 inches, depth of 6 inches, and a height of 3 1/2 inches. If a mask is used for ½ prints you can get 16 prints to a roll and without the mask it takes 2 ½ x 4 ¼ prints of 8 to the roll (616 film-120 film can be substituted with some work). Other features are a reversible brilliant finder, tripod sockets for landscape plus portrait, and red frame use viewing windows in the back film compartment cover. All of the punctuation variations PD 16, PD-16, and PD16 may be encountered, as the company itself was not consistent.
