Agfa Futura Af zoom
The Agfa Futura Af zoom is a simple compact autofocus zoom camera made for Agfa-Gevaert AG Leverkusen (Germany). A similar camera, the ZM82AE, is offered by Haking, most probably the original camera maker. It has shutter speed upto only 1/250. sec and an autofocus distinguishing only 4 distances. But it has a powerful built-in flash. With cameras like this the film makers like Agfa wanted to enforce the sales of their APS film cartridges. The camera was sold in a nice archive box for 30 APS films.
