Agfa Solina at Saint Louis Zoo 111608

The Agfa Solina was made from 1960 to 1962 and marketed through Montgomery Wards.
It is a name variant of the Agfa Silette (Type 3).
It is a fairly simple 35mm camera, made in Germany, with front lens scale focusing from about 3 feet to infinity, and Pronto shutter with B, 25, 50, 100, 200.
Shutter syncs for X at all speeds, pc socket on front, cold shoe on top of body.
Nicest feature is the very large, easy to see viewfinder.

I purchased this example at an antique center in west central Ohio last week.
Yesterday I gave it a trial run at the Saint Louis Zoo with a roll of Walgreens Studio 35 ASA 200 print film.
These are all hand held shots with available light.
