Introduced in 1947 the Ansco B2 Cadet came along the split from Agfa and Ansco's subsequent race to pack shelves with inexpensive amateur cameras. While it looks almost exactly like the earlier Agfa B2 Cadet, it is distinctly lower quality. Unlike the Agfa Cadet B2 and the Agfa Ansco Cadet B2, this camera has no Time exposure feature, uses a plastic frame advance knob, a thinner metal finish prone to rusting, a cardboard film holding compartment, and a compressed cardboard handle. The shutter speed is 1/50 of a second and the aperture about f/11. The minimum focus range is 8 feet (2.5M) and the best film to use in it is 50 to 100 ASA.
