The Optima Sensor Electronic cameras all had electromagnetic shutter release systems.Ģ - The Paratronic shutter comprises two blades. From that time onwards, most of the company’s models had this distinctive feature. Depending on the camera type, either a mechanical or an electromechanical shutter release button was hidden under the membrane. This was a round membrane made of red foil framed with a metal ring.
A tiny size (104 × 69 × 56mm (W x H x D)).ġ - Agfa introduced its sensor point shutter release system in 1968. Stepless shutter speeds (within the overall range of the model),. Sensor shutter release (a big red button), #1. 
The features in common for this series were: Optima Sensor Electronic (no number) - like a 535.Optima Sensor Electronic 1535 - like the 1035 but with a coupled rangefinder, and without self-timer.Optima Sensor Electronic 1035 - 40mm f/2.8 Solitar multi coated lens with shutter speeds from 15 seconds to 1/1000th plus a self-timer.
Optima Sensor Electronic 535 - 40mm f/2.8 Solitar single coated lens with shutter speeds from 15 seconds to 1/500th.Optima Sensor Electronic 335 - 40mm f/3.5 Agnatar lens with shutter speed from 1/30th to 1/300th.
The sixth and final model was launched in 1982 and had no number: it was called the Optima Sensor Electronic, but was essentially a clone of the 535 and manufactured in Portugal.ĭifferences between the models were not confined to top shutter speeds. A fifth camera - the Agfa Optima Sensor Electronic Flash - added a built-in in flash. A fourth camera - the 1535 - added coupled rangefinder focusing. Agfa's marketing pitch focused upon the fact their cameras were auto-exposure, and all but the base model could provide automatic exposure for a shutter speed as long as 15 seconds. The model numbers were indicative of the top shutter speed, as in 1/300th, 1/500th and 1/1000th (and presumably the 35 stood for 35mm). The Optima Sensor Electronic series were produced between 19 by the German Agfa company, and initially comprised three viewfinder cameras the 335, 5.
