The Agfa Optima Sensor 335 is the base model of the range of Optima Sensor Series cameras introduced by Agfa in the late 1970s. It is a small, rectangular 35mm viewfinder camera. It's very much like the Optima Sensor 535, but with a slower lens.
The 335 has a 40mm f/3.5 Agnatar lens, with three-zone focusing, stopping down to f/22. The large red shutter-release button is mounted in the top of the advance lever, with a cable release socket on the (user's) right side of the body.
The rewind release is next to the shutter release on the top plate; this is rotated to an "R" mark for rewinding, when, unusually, the winding lever is also used for rewinding instead of a separate rewind crank.
On the front of the lens barrel, inside the lens' filter thread, there is a CdS metering cell mounted at the bottom, and a film speed dial at the top. The shutter speed is set electronically between 1/30 & 1/300 second.
The window on the edge beside the shutter release contains the frame counter. There is a tripod socket on the left-hand end. The camera has a bright-line viewfinder with parallax correction marks for close-up use.
