Agfa started that series in the early 1970ies, the new identifier of all models was the red-orange dot as shutter button, a feature Agfa used successfully for all following cameras. The name "Sensor" refers to that shutter button, the new design should guarantee a very soft and shake-free release.
All models share basically the same body, which includes another characteristic feature: with the film advance lever at the bottom also the exposed film has to be rewound. Furthermore the exposed frames have an extra container in the film chamber, so they are protected when the door is opened accidentally.
Other shared characteristics are a manual focus lens with the minimum focus distance of 1 m, an f-stop range from f/2.8 to f/22 and the lack of a filter thread. All models have an exposure meter, a bright frame viewfinder with parallax marks, a cable release thread (due to the red button it's on the back), a hot shoe, a tripod bush and a frame counter at the bottom, which has to be reset manually.
In the mid 70ies these cameras were replaced by the very compact Optima Sensor Electronic models, which kept some features like the peculiar rewind mechanism.
The models in detail:
The Silette LK is clearly the budget model, fully manual and fully mechanical (no battery required), 3-element 2.8/45 Color-Agnar lens in Parator shutter, unlike the other models the lens barrel is plastic made. Shutter speeds from 1/30 to 1/300 s and B, coupled exposure meter with Selenium cell whose needle is visible in the viewer and on top, ISO range from 25 to 400.
Optima 200: 3-element 2.8/42 Color-Apotar lens in Paratic shutter, zone focusing. Like all previous Agfa Optima cameras the Optima 200 has a programmed automatic exposure, in the viewfinder a red/green signal displays sufficient light. Shutter speeds from 1/30 to 1/200 s. A Selenium cell is used, so the camera also doesn't require a battery, ISO range (of the variant here) 25 to 160. If a flash is mounted in the hot shoe, the camera uses 1/30 s and switches into flash-matic mode, guide number (m) from 11 to 27.
Optima 500: like the Optima 200, but with a CdS-cell for the exposure meter instead of a Selenium cell, so a 625 PX battery is required. ISO range from 25 to 400, shutter speeds from 1/30 to 1/500 s. Furthermore the shutter features a B-setting with the full f-stop range. Afaik the Optima 500 was the only model which was available in black and silver.
Selectronic: 3-element 2.8/45 Color-Apotar lens in Paratronic shutter. Aperture priority automatic exposure mode, the f-stop ring has no click-stops. Both F-stop and shutter speed (1/500 to 1/30 s, symbol for slower speeds) are displayed in the viewfinder. Slowest shutter speed up to 15 s. CdS-cell (behind the right one of the two eyes), two 625 PX batteries are required, ISO range from 25 to 400. Behind the left eye is a light bulb, it is lit when the shutter is open, it also indicates full batteries when the test button is pressed.
Self-timer, no B-setting, no flash-matic mode.
Price about DM 350,-
Selectronic S, the top model. Like the Selectronic, but with 4-element 2.8/45 Color-Solinar lens and rangefinder.
Price about DM 450,-

The heresy continues... that Goerz (taking lens) dates back to around 1904. Such gentle rendering. Perfect match for digital!

And now for something completely different - a very compact plastic camera with an oversized finder and semi-wide-angle lens, ideal for street shooting. The finder has a magnification of about 0.80x (slightly larger than the Leica M6 which had 0.85x) and has a brightline incorporated (Albada type, i.e. self-illuminating, with the frameline on the inner surface of the eyepiece lens). Exposure is fully automatic (using No. 625 batteries) and programmed. Zone focusing with click stops for 3 positions, and there's still a proper distance scale as well.
The lens is a 4-element air-spaced type like the Goerz Dogmar of 100 years ago (which has been used more often during the 80's and 90's because of the better correction that can be obtained when elements don't have to be cemented, as in the Tessar design, where the two rear elements are cemented).
The compactness of the camera (105mm wide, 69mm high, 55mm deep) has been achieved by placing the finder over the take-up spool, as in the legendary Rollei 35. Unlike that camera however, which had a very awkward lever wind on the left (right above the finder) this camera has a convenient lever on the right hand side (the Rollei 35 was of course more compact - 97x60mmx32mm though more awkward). The release is the red flexible plastic dome on top of the winder, which they called a "sensor" (and not the black knob near it, which is just the rewind selector).
MOC: Sensor GTR. A variation of the theme from my previous Supercar - I wanted to see if I could build something a supercar that looked a bit more like it was meant for the road than for the track. Very happy with the result.

Beautiful Bikini Model Goddess Shooting Stills & Video at the same time with Nikon D800E & Sony Alpha NEX-6 with its 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 power zoom kit lens in Malibu!
You can see some of the video of the pretty goddess shot with the Sony NEX 6 here:
Was shooting in 60P on the Sony NEX6 and slowing it down to 24P in Adobe Premiere for the slow motion!
The lens pictured on the Sony NEX-6 is the new "pancake" 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 power zoom kit lens. With the crop sensor, the NEX-6 has just about the same field of view as the Nikon D800 at 70 mm, which worked out well! Small and powerful! The Sony NEX-6 gave me better video results than the Canon and Panasonic camcorders I have been using. :) There's better bokeh, and cooler face-finding/tracking focus features for that filmesque feel and shallow depth of field! Plus the NEX has the sony steadyshot image stabilization active mode! The Optical Steady Shot (OSS) seems to work pretty well with the video.
Well, so much for the technology--enjoy the pretty goddess! :)
Shot with the Nikon D800 + 70-200 mm F2.8 Prime! (The 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II AF-S Nikkor Zoom Lens--my favorite!!!)
That's Point Dume in the background-hangin' out in Malibu on a 70 degree January afternoon! :)
Mixed feelings with the Nikon D750. The specs are pretty much of a D810 with a D610 sensor. But it looks like the ergonomic design has taken a step backwards.

The Silette series' rangefinder models were called Super Silette. There was also an interchangeable lens rangefinder model called the Ambi Silette.
1.6x crop sensor x 1.4TC x 2TC x 400mm = 1792mm.
With today's arrival of the 2x teleconverter, I can now achieve a total of 1792mm focal reach in 35mm equivalent terms. Looking forward to some clear night skies and a full moon.
Gear featured includes the Canon 7D, the Canon EF 1.4x III teleconverter, the Canon EF 2x II teleconverter, Canon EF 400mm f/5.6 L USM. I also have a little bean-filled neck pillow which I find is an awesome stabiliser for resting the camera on things like car bonnets, fence posts, safety railings, etc. And yes that is a Nikon strap. It makes the world of difference to my image quality.
(Edit: I now prefer the 60D for this setup, as live-view on the flip/swivel screen makes life SO MUCH easier for things like moon shots).
I'm aware this combo (especially while stacking teleconverters) will make a big dent in my image quality and lower my maximum aperture waaaaay down, but for moonshots in particular I think the benefit of increased focal length will outweigh the disadvantage of reduced quality when viewed at 100%. And I bought this lens mainly for FUN as opposed to being a breadwinner. It's easy to forget about the FUN factor after taking photos all day, every day, as a job.
One day I'll own a 400mm f/2.8 :D
PS.- After a few evenings meddling with this setup while taking shots of the moon and Jupiter, I think I'm going to need a bigger tripod. Even merely *touching* the focus ring will send trembles through the lens that take 20 seconds to subside. In these situations, a shutter cable is absolutely imperative.
This is the short-range planetary sensor dome. Above the bridge is the stellar array, while long-range sensors are arranged around the navigational deflector, pointing only in the direction of travel.
My latest acquisition. Very nice compact camera. Large, bright viewfinder.
The Agfa Optima sensor electronic was identical to the Agfa Optima 535 Sensor electronic and — like the Agfa Optima sensor Flash - produced in Portugal.

Green trees on a suburban street in the morning sunlight. This picture is straight out from the camera, no processing except darken a the brightness a bit. What I call the magic of the CCD Sensor, no longer used in digital cameras.
Made with the Pentax Optio Z-10 point and shoot.
