Spec Notes
55mm, not 50mm: Agfa's own dealer price list prints "Agfa Color-Solagon f / 2 55mm" and four collector references agree; a single marketplace listing title reading 2.0/50 is treated as a listing error and a possible separate 50mm Solagon is left OPEN. The lens that made a body a Selectaflex II. Element count is corroborated by two independent collector references; the aperture digits in the price-list scan are UNREADABLE and no aperture is taken from it. ONE COLLECTOR SOURCE singles this lens out, with the Ambion, as an exception that does not cross from Selectaflex to Ambiflex. AGFA PUBLISHES NO OPTICAL SPECIFICATION FOR THIS LENS. Elements, groups, filter thread, minimum focus, blades, weight and per-lens production years are ABSENT from Agfa's own instruction books and from every source consulted. HAZARD: an Ambiflex-era lens will mount on a Selectaflex body and then cannot be removed without mechanical intervention. Agfa's museum states it in German and in its own English: "Ambiflex-Objektive passen nicht bei der Selectaflex!!! Sie lassen sich dann nicht mehr entfernen!" The reverse direction works: a first-hand mount test reports a Selectaflex lens fitting an Ambiflex body. The physical tell of an Ambiflex-era lens is a funnel-shaped notch at the distance-scale mark. NO flange focal distance exists for either mount, from any source.
