The Ansco PD16 Clipper is a compact, fixed-focus viewfinder camera introduced in the 1930s by Agfa Ansco, produced in Binghamton, New York, after Agfa acquired Ansco. Designed for simplicity and reliability, it uses now-discontinued 616 roll film to capture 15 or 16 medium-format photos per roll, and features a collapsible lens board that snaps out for shooting and folds flat for portability. The camera has a basic meniscus lens pre-focused from six feet to infinity, a self-cocking shutter with instant (1/60s) and bulb settings, and a flip-up viewfinder, making it easy for beginners to use and popular in its era for travel and family photography.
