Agfa Optima Sensor Electronic (1982)

Agfa Optima Sensor Electronic

Esta fotografia é do exemplar que possuo.

Características


The Optima Electronic Sensor is a 35mm film viewfinder camera made by Agfa and introduced in 1982. The camera is the last of the range of long lasting Agfa Optima Sensor series.

The Optima Sensor is technically identical with the earlier Optima 535 Sensor. It has a Solitar 40mm f/2.8 in Paratronic shutter with speeds 1/30-1/1000, a simplified focusing by three symbols, and a red signal in the viewfinder in the event of under-exposure.

Electronic sensor series replaced Optima 200 and 500 Sensor cameras. Their features are black body with large bright-frame viewfinder and automatic exposure control with electronic shutter.

The Agfa Optima sensor electronic is a 35mm compact view-finder camera with manual focus. On the top of the lens you can adjust the focus by three symbols (mountains, two people and one people) and on the rear side in Meters and Feet. But it’s not the big problem if you don’t get the right distance it has a wide depth of field.

On the front of the camera you can set up the film speed and there is the built in light meter. It got a fast lens and if there is a flash inserted you can manually choose the aperture. I love the red release button on the lever which is also used for rewinding. The body is made out of metal with a plastic coating. And if you open the back unintended, you don’t destroy the whole film cause it is covered in a sealed chamber. (I’m very happy of this feature.)

Características



The Optima 500 Sensor, made by Agfa and introduced in 1969, as part of the Optima Sensor range, is a fairly eccentric 35mm film viewfinder camera with automatic exposure. Like all Agfa Sensor cameras, it has the large round orange shutter release on the top plate. There is also a cable release socket on the back.

The advance lever is on the bottom plate, to the users left. This doubles as the rewind lever. To rewind, the rewind release, mounted beside the lens, is moved in towards the lens and upward - where it latches. The advance lever is now reverse-geared to be a rewinder. Opening the back, using the catch on the right-hand end, releases the film-spool drive spindle- which springs out of the bottom plate, and resets the rewind release. The exposure meter is a CdS meter.

The lens has three focus zones visible from the top, and a distance scale underneath. Semi-circular film speed scale scale in top plate with pointers at opposite ends for DIN and ASA. Manually-reset frame counter in bottom plate. Flash can be connected via a hot shoe, which has a pin to detect the flash gun; a guide-number scale is fitted in the right-hand end.

Lens: Agfa Color-Apotar 42mm f2.8
Shutter: Paratic speeds 1/30-1/500 +B


Power: PX625 battery, placed where the advance lever might be expected. Look for the rectangle on the top right of the camera's back, this is the battery tray of the chamber.
