Ad from Dutch photomagazine 1970 : " Sensor cameras don't like inaccurately exposed flash pictures" .
From the text : The Optima 200 and 500 sensor cameras are equiped with automatic flash control : when the flash unit is installed, the correct exposure time is selected automatically ( there is a small lever in the hot shoe) . The lens opening follows the distance chosen .

"All Optimas have:
a HUGE brightline viewfinder that makes them useful to people with glasses;
one single thumb lever that winds or rewinds the film, depending on the polarity set by a push button;
a foolproof quick-loading system;
the big Sensor shutter release with a clear pressure point;
automatic exposure;
an f/2.8 lens (fast and practical);
a plastic slab that (briefly) protects the exposed film from fogging when you accidentally open the back;
a plastic-coated, all-metal body.
The Optimas are very transparently designed cameras (albeit very German in appearance and strangely reminiscent of the Plaubel Makina 6×7), and very compact too. They have an outer shell of plastic-coated metal and mostly metal internals, which makes them very durable. There are a lot of plastic parts, some of which are fairly vital like cogs and such, but I think that here plastics are not so much synonymous with cheapness and shoddiness, but with optimized mechanical characteristics and manufacturability."

The Agfa Optima Sensor 535 is one in a long line of programmed autoexposure cameras from Agfa. Starting in 1959, the Optima line were all p-mode cameras with lenses in the 38mm-45mm range, with maximum apertures around f/2.8-f/4 range, and shutter speeds from 1/15-1/200th (in the early years) to 15-1/1000th (in later and more upscale models).
In 1969, German firm Schlagheck & Schultes redesigned the Sensor line, adding the distinctive red shutter button and some other new features, and in 1976, the completely redesigned Optima Sensor 535 appeared.
The specs are simple:
Lens: 40mm Agfa Solitar, 4 elements
49mm filter rings
Aperture: f/2.8-22 (adjustable, with a flash)
Shutter Speeds: 15-1/500th (according to the manual, but I counted off 32 seconds on one of my streaking taillight, out-the-window shots)
ISO: 25-500
Focus: Zone, with symbols for torso and head, two people and mountain on the top, and feet/meter markings on the bottom*

100 Cars Compete in the Largest Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational Ever
Mooresville, NC - goo.gl/S9UbRh The 2014 @OUSCI was a bit different in many ways than years past. First off, the event took place at Las Vegas Motor Speedway and secondly, the event was turned into a 2-day event. The two days turned out to be just what the doctor ordered as there were over 100 cars competing in the event.
@DetroitSpeedInc brought out the DSE 1970 #Camaro Test Car driven by Kyle Tucker and the DSE 2012 "White Monster" Camaro Test Car driven by Ryan Mathews. The two cars were stationed at Optima Alley during the @SEMAshow preparing for the event that took place the two days after SEMA.
There was a large contingent of DSE "Equipped" cars at this year's event. Everything from modern muscle to old 1960's original muscle were on hand ready to put the Detroit Speed suspension to the test during two grueling days of cone carving and high speed road course action.
The Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational is a points based competition that is looking for the top street car in the country. The competition consists of the Detroit Speed sponsored "Road Rally," the speed-stop challenge, the autocross, the design and engineering challenge as well as the @BFGoodrichTires Hot Lap Challenge.
Saturday was the first day of the competition and started out with the autocross and speed-stop challenge. The competition was fierce and non-stop as competitor after competitor staged and prepared to lay it all on the line to be named the ultimate street car. Following a full day of action, the Detroit Speed Road Rally kicked off and cruised to Shelby American, Inc.
Sunday was the BFGoodrich Hot Lap Challenge. The challenge was broken into 3 classes of competition, the novice, the advanced and finally the expert class. Each class was chalk full of DSE "Equipped" cars. It was a thrill to look up and down the staging area and see the DSE "Equipped" decal on so many amazing street machines. Ryan and Kyle ran hard in this event with Ryan finishing in 2nd place. Ryan and Bryan Johnson had their usual battle of 5th gens. It is great to see two DSE "Equipped" cars running up front in 2nd and 3rd place. The competitiveness between these two gentlemen is undeniable. The respect they have for one another is truly admirable and it shows out on the track as they battle neck and neck at virtually every event.
This has been by far the best OUSCI yet and we look forward to competing in the years to come. Congratulations to Danny Popp for his overall victory, Brandon Ranvek for his 2nd place finish and to Betim Berisha for finishing 3rd. We would also like to congratulate Bryan Johnson on capturing Detroit Speed's "Fastest Fifth Gen" award and for finishing in 4th place. DSE's own Ryan Mathews captured 5th place while Mark Stielow captured the Detroit Speed "Fastest American Iron Pre-1980" award in his amazing DSE Equipped Hellfire Camaro. Mark's Hellfire is an amazing build that he isn't afraid to get dirty. That's our kind of builder and vehicle, performance driven and track proven.
