What a beauty. Does it use 120 or 620 film? If 620, still usable even though film has long gone. 120 film can be wound onto 620 spools in total darkness, light gloves to prevent fingerprints.

Have you checked eBay for price comparisons? Yours is a '54 model, whereas there are several series of Isolettes that go back to pre-WWII German manufacture and then post war models through the last series in the '50s. The various series have wide price differentials.

The $529 seems high, but you might find someone who has to have it. Good luck.

Mine is theIII version and is the range finder model, I did look on ebay and that model was 529.00 but am open to offers, trying to help parents make some extra money

120 was the world standard. Kodak altered the spool hole and renamed it 620. That way, if you had a Kodak camera, you had to use their film. The only difference. Likewise, for a few other sizes.

When you looked on eBay, did you look at the "sold" listings?...If you didn't & looked at the active "buy it now" listings, those prices are normally inflated...
