AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Agfa Colorflex is a distinguished 35mm single lens reflex camera introduced in the late 1950s by Agfa Camera-Werk in Munich, West Germany. Engineered during the dawn of modern consumer SLR development, the Colorflex combined an eye level reflex viewing system with a leaf shutter mechanism and high quality Agfa optics. Built with solid metal construction and elegant mid-century industrial styling, well-preserved examples remain popular among collectors tracking the historical development of German SLR design.
KEY FEATURES
Compact 35mm leaf shutter single lens reflex design
Bright eye level pentaprism viewfinder providing ground glass composition
High quality coated prime lens delivering authentic vintage rendering
Dependable mechanical leaf shutter operating completely without batteries
Sturdy all-metal die-cast chassis with durable satin chrome and leatherette finish
Smooth single-stroke film advance lever mounted on the top housing
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Camera Type: 35mm Single Lens Reflex Camera
Lens: Agfa Color-Apotar 50mm f/2.8 coated prime lens
Shutter speeds: Prontor-Reflex leaf shutter with B, 1 to 1/300s
Serial Number: Not visible or unassigned on exterior housing
CONDITION REPORT
Cosmetic: Very good vintage condition with minor traces of prior handling and faint edge marks consistent with age. Metal surfaces are bright and the textured leatherette body wrap is fully intact.
Optics: Viewfinder is clean and clear, offering a bright focusing image. The prime taking lens is clear, free from fungus, internal haze, separation, or deep scratches.
Mechanics: Shutter cocks and fires reliably across available speeds. The film advance lever cycles smoothly, the aperture ring turns freely, and the reflex mirror functions properly.
Test status: Fully inspected and dry-tested mechanically. Sold as a tested vintage collectible.
WHATS INCLUDED
Agfa Colorflex 35mm SLR camera
Original vintage leather carrying case with strap
WHY BUY THIS ITEM
