Gambling on the Agfa Isolette 4.5 as the Perfect Medium Format Travel Camera

... in which I take this post war 6x6 medium format film camera to China, recording the sights of Shanghai's Century and Guangfulin Parks. But how does this relic of a photographer, using a relic of a camera, on the relics of Shanghai's ancient history fare? Is the Agfa Isolette a pocket medium format powerhouse, or does all that foldable faff just make for a failed photographic experience? See how blowing four rolls of film blows the wind out of my bellows as I try to make art out of Shanghai Parks.
