Billy record cameras were listed in catalogs by lens

are based on the maximum lens opening. The basic
body is the same for 8.8, 7.7 and 6.3 models. The 4.5
model uses the body style of the Agfa Billy Compur.
All models use 120 roll film for 6x9cm frames. The
lens is Agfa Anastigmat Igestar in Automat shutter in
8.8, 7.7 and 6.3 models. There are some cosmetic
variations, like chrome decors, during their production period. The camera was succeeded by the Agfa
