Description from the seller
2 Vintage Sucher Cameras from AGFA Kamerawerke AG
Agfa Optima Rapid 250 V
Camera type: Viewfinder camera
Film: 24 x 24 mm, Agfa Rapid film cartridge
Year of manufacture: 1966
Optics: Agfa Color-Apotar 1:2.8/35 mm
Shutter: Agfa Paratic V (1/30 - 1/250 and "B")
additional advance lever
Exposure metering: Exposure automation via selenium cell, switchable off
Focusing: Manual 0.9 m – ∞, adjustment via 3 frame symbols
Flash connection: Hot shoe with center contact
with empty cartridge
In 1966 Agfa released an entire series of top cameras for the Agfa Rapid system. And as is typical with all Agfa Optima cameras, comfort of use was at the forefront of this camera line as well. Aperture ring set to "A", steadily depress the shutter and when the viewfinder window shows green, shoot. Done. As was common at that time, the exposure automation of the camera works thanks to the selenium field without batteries. The camera received an elegant, modern-design body with a wide chrome trim.
(The shutter mechanism only works with a loaded film.)
Material: Metal and plastic
Size: 115 x 72 x 58 mm (with lens)
Weight: 450 grams
