The Agfa Clack is a box camera produced by Agfa from 1954 to 1965. It was sold in North America as the Agfa Weekender. It is a simple camera which was aimed at the mass market. About 1.65 million were produced, more than all other Agfa box camera models combined. It uses 120 film, creating large 6x9 negatives that were usually contact printed (transferred directly from the negative onto photographic paper without enlarging). It has only one shutter speed, and, depending on model, either a single f/11 f-stop or a choice of two. The Agfa Clack played a central role in the 2013 novel, Klack, by German author Klaus Modick.

The Agfamatic 200 Sensor is a simple camera for 126 cartridge film introduced by Agfa in 1972. The lens is fixed focus and the exposure is controlled using four "weather" icons above the lens barrel. It was one of four cameras within the Agfamatic series sharing the same body and appearance. See below table for its specific features and position within the series...
Specifications

The camera series all shared the same body consisting of a core made of die-cast plastic which was surrounded by a 24 mm wide aluminum frame. The front cover hides the essential mechanics, which were located directly underneath the red Sensor release button, fast advance lever, and the flash socket. The back door is also made of black plastic with the window in the middle usual for 126 film. In the top left corner of the camera is the reverse Galilean bright frame finder, glued in from transparent plastic lenses. With external dimensions of approx. 35 x 104 x 65 mm and a weight of approx. 185 g, the cameras were much more compact than comparable competitor products.

Optima I is a 35mm film viewfinder camera made by Agfa and produced between 1960-64. It is simpler and cheaper version of Optima original. Film speed (10-100 ASA) in model h1 and (10-200 ASA) in model h2 sets the shutter speed. Auto exposure control and manual settings for flash. Lens is Agfa Color-Agnar 45mm f/2.8 and the shutter is Prontor-Luxwith speeds 1/30-1/500 + B. It was sold as Agfamatic I in Canada

Weight 642g Dimensions 130X95X67mm


The Agfa Clack, Optima I and AgfaMatic 200 cameras has been quickly tested and are working, there may be hidden defects. The Agfa Isola I camera has been quickly tested and are not working properly- trigger is in stuck. There may be hidden defects. The Item exhibits minor signs of usage and wear. You might notice small imperfections such as minor wear on the parts. These are minimal and don't detract from the overall appearance and functionality of the item. Note: not tested with film. Look carefully photos. Photos attached to the listing are part of this description.
