I think isolettes are pretty common, I's & II's certainly (I have a II w/ apotar lens that I'm sorting for someone now) but only a few of those had the leather bellows, the lower end ones had vinyl or some nasty paper stuff that were probably buggered in the 50s let alone 60+ years on!
The super isolette with the 75/3.5 or 85/4.5 solinar is the daddy, if you find one buy it regardless of condition, they are likely worth £250-450 depending on nick. No light meter of any sort, but they are very similar in quality to current bessa's & fuji folders.
Would be taking the isolette III with me this weekend but haven't got any B&W 120 film to hand and don't want to spend colour/slide film on its test run. plastic olympus AF1 is going to get a run out on the hills with some drunken pharmacists :P
Yannis you've got some magic stuff on flickr! The pinhole shots, are they on direct postive paper?
