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 manufacturer. It offers shutter speeds up to 1/250 sec. and 4-stage autofocus. It has a powerful built-in flash. With cameras like this, film makers such as Agfa hoped to increase the sale of their APS film. The camera was sold in a nice archive box with room for 30 rolls of APS film.
