Manual Camara Agfa Optima 500

Yeah they sure don't have the brand value of Holga or whatever, but it still seems unusual for a decent quality camera to be trading for peanuts. In 1954 it modernized its pre-war camera design with the Silette series. Two other common errors in the description of these cameras refer to the camera's Paratronic lens and its leaf shutter. When I opened the box and found a 535, I was first annoyed, then angered, and later realized it was probably my own mad rush, and not anything nefarious from the seller.

Radek i've never handled one but it looks like a scale focus camera with full auto exposure or aperture priority and a cds meter, which means that it has an electronic shutter and you can't check if it works or not until you clean the chamber out and get a fresh battery in it. Does anyone know of another source for a vintage camera manual for these?? They're great for parties and festivals.

Oops! - I've been considering getting the Optima Electronic Sensor not the rangefinder one for a trip I'm going on, and I can't work out why they sell so cheaply.

During my mad rush for a compact rangefinder, I went on a hunt for an Agfa Optima Sensor 1535, one of the agfw unique- and interesting-looking, and one of the last, compact rangefinders out there. When I opened maanual box and found a 535, I was first annoyed, then angered, and later realized it was probably my own mad rush, and not anything nefarious from the seller. The shutter button is easy to find, with a clear pressure point in the center, and the focus ring is nicely dampened, with clear, thunking stops at torso, two people, and mountain. The only weird thing is the location of the tripod socket, opti,a the left side rather than the bottom, and I have no idea why they thought this was a problem in need of a solution. I got 40 or 41 frames out of a 36 exposure roll, and the little door over the take-up spool saved a bunch of frames on my first roll. This takes some explaining… To rewind the film, you push a button on the top panel down and manual it slightly to engage a clutch that transforms the advance lever into a rewind lever. During the WorldWide Agfa Walk, I finished a roll of Kodak Plus-X engaged the rewind clutch, started rewinding, and after 4 or 5 winds, I felt the tension release and assumed it was done. I quickly closed the back, and tried again. Again, the tension released, I opened the back and found film still there. After two failed optimums, I just kept rewinding and rewinding and waited until I got home to put it 500 the dark bag before opening the back again. Anyway, with all that, I only lost 2. For some reason, having to turn the camera over to see the numerical markings helped me to judge distance sensor, I think, so once again, great design! I like this little camera.

Frame Counter: Automatic count up and count down on rewind. I've often seen Flashes for sale on eBay, but knew very little about them until the chance purchase of an introduced me to Sensor button models. They seem to have a decent lens, an attractive to me body, and all the basic manual controls you need. I'm new here, haven't managed to upload photos yet: However, I have just bought the above camera and have no idea how to check if it works as I have no manual. They seem to have a decent lens, an attractive to me body, and all the basic manual controls you need. It is a different size and shape to all the other Optima Sensor Electronic cameras, due to the flash housing and larger battery compartment - relocated to the user's right side of the body. The zone focusing is bang on and easy to use. The lens zone focus setting determined the appropriate aperture for correct flash exposure.
