The Optima Sensor 500, made by Agfa in Germany as part of the Optima Sensor range, is a fairly eccentric 35mm viewfinder camera with automatic exposure.

The advance lever is on the bottom plate, to the users left.

Semi-circular film speed scale scale in top plate with pointers at opposite ends for DIN and ASA.

Manually-reset frame counter in bottom plate.

Flash can be connected via a hot shoe, which has a pin to detect the flash gun; a guide-number scale is fitted in the right-hand end.

Opening the back, using the catch on the right-hand end, releases the film-spool pivot (wrong word) which springs out of the bottom plate.

  • Lens: Agfa Color Apotar 42mm f2.8
  • Power: PX525 battery, placed where the advance lever might be expected.
