Agfa Optima Sensor electronic
A series of cute, very compact viewfinder cameras Agfa launched in 1976. It replaced the former Optima Sensor series (Optima 200 Sensor etc.) and inherited from it the popular red shutter button and the unique film rewind system, where the advance lever is used for rewinding the film aswell. A prominent feature is the huge viewfinder, which claims a fair part of the camera body. Agfa released 6 models, but the last model, without a special name, is a copy of the 535. The difference is, that it was made in Portugal and not in Germany.
The models are called 335, 535, 1035, 1535 and flash, plus the nameless one from Portugal.
Some features they have in common and not already mentioned:
* programmed automatic exposure, Paratronic shutter
* a lens with 40 mm focal length, nearest focus distance is 0.9 m
* zone focusing, except the model with rangefinder. Exact distance scale under the lens.
* hot shoe and selectable f-stop for flash operation, except the model with built-in flash
* underexposure warning, a red LED in the viewfinder
* exposed film is wound into a lightproof container
* cable release socket, tripod bush
* rotating pattern for film advance check
* film speed 25 to 500 ISO
* filter thread 49 mm
* three batteries PX625 are required (except flash model), battery compartment is in the film chamber
The 335 was introduced in 1978 and was the model at the lower end. It has the slowest lens, the single-coated three-element 3.5/40 Agnatar (the instruction manual says that it has 4 elements, but usually the 3-element lenses of Agfa are called Agnar), shutter speeds from 1/30 to 1/300.
The 535 (1976) was slightly advanced. With the single-coated four-element 2.8/40 Solitar it has a better lens, and it has a 1/500 as top speed.
The 1035, also from 1976, has the same lens but multi-coated (Solitar S), the range of shutter speeds increased from 15 s to 1/1000 s. The symbols for zone focusing are also displayed in the viewfinder, additionally there is a green LED for the shutter speeds from 1/30 s or faster. It is the only model which sports a self-timer, amazinlgy it's a mechanical one, at least it has a red LED for countdown.
The 1535 from 1979 has the same lens and the same shutter speeds like the 1035. Instead the symbols for the focus distance in the viewfinder it has a true rangefinder, which makes the viewer a bit dimmer, so some photographers prefer the 1035 over it.
The flash-model is technically a 535 with a folding flash light, and its design looks rather improvised. Some changes had to be made: a battery compartment on the left side for 2 AAA 1.5 V micro cells. The film advance lever needed a new shape, also the cable release socket found a new place. The focus ring moved forward and doubles now as small lens hood. Due to the fact that the aperture ring was dropped I assume that the flash works in flashmatic mode: the setting of the aperture is coupled with the focus distance. It is the only model with strap lugs.
I have also an early model of the 535 in my collection, which reveals that some changes were made: the stability of the tripod socket was improved and the aperture ring got a small grasp. The early pattern on the film advance check was red/black.
Testing out an infrared sensor I picked off of the auction site, works pretty good. I put a 3.5 mm plug on it and hooked it to the camera axe. Model number is E18-D50NK.

An important thing to remember is that even though pixel sizes keep getting smaller and smaller, the technology is advancing, so the smaller pixels are more efficient at collecting light. For instance, the Sony A7rII is back-illuminated which allows more photons to hit the sensor. Semiconductor technology is always advancing, so the brilliant engineers are always improving the signal/noise ratio. Far higher pixel counts, as well as better dynamic ranger, are thus not only possible, but the future!

View your artistic mission into photography as an epic odyssey of heroic poetry! Take it from Homer in Homer's Odyssey: "Tell me, O muse, of that ingenious hero who travelled far and wide after he had sacked the famous town of Troy. Many cities did he visit, and many were the nations with whose manners and customs he was acquainted; moreover he suffered much by sea while trying to save his own life and bring his men safely home; but do what he might he could not save his men, for they perished through their own sheer folly in eating the cattle of the Sun-god Hyperion; so the god prevented them from ever reaching home. Tell me, too, about all these things, O daughter of Jove, from whatsoever source you may know them. " --Samuel Butler Translation of Homer's Odyssey

Amazing. I finally cleaned my sensor and I'm overjoyed with the clean skies! This is pretty much right out of the camera, no cloning out dirt spots. Taken in Felicity, CA, just this side of the Arizona boarder.
The first thing to say is that each electronic sensor has a protective filter over it, so we are not actually touching the electronics. That would be a disaster. Most people send the camera off for a service and a clean and that's a very good idea. After all this is an expensive investment and we want to make sure our camera works as well as possible for as long as it can.
But, it is quite easy to clean your sensor at home. All you need is a kit (like the one I've shown). This includes sealed sterile swabs and a little cleaning fluid (they are essential - do not try to clean your sensor with a cloth where you can scratch the dust into the sensor filter). There are also many videos on YouTube showing you how to use these dust cleaning swabs, but provided you get the right size for your camera (mine is full frame) a simple swipe will suffice.
For a DSLR you obviously need to lock your mirror up before the clean, and then lower it immediately afterwards. Then with the other side of the swab give your mirror a quick wipe as well. Do not apply too much pressure. After all, these are only tiny dust particles - you should not have any dirt.
My Leica D-Lux 7 which I used to take these pictures has a fixed lens, so it will never need its micro-four-thirds sensor cleaned.

The girls are off from school and have already started their summer jobs, but even with their jobs, we are all enjoying how our life has slowed down appropriately for the season.
This photo might is not so exciting, but it is notable because I have been trying, on and off for months, to get the Brenizer Method to work for me. I wasn't getting it at all at first. This is the first time it worked. It's 12 photos stitched together. With the lens I was using (60mm) on my cropped sensor camera, one photo, from where I was standing, would have only shown part of the striped orange thingey. The idea is to be able to get shallow depth of field and a wider angle at the same time -- basically to get the feel of a medium-format camera. I think I'm almost ready to move on to more exciting subjects (like my daughters!).
Slightly sensored for social media :-)
Not perfect, but I think it's at least better than putting on a star or white paint...
Hope to get book and ebook of Aijule out this weekend.

En route to Canyonlands NP, made a quick stop to visit Antelope Canyon near Page, Az.. It was my first visit so didn't know exactly what to expect. Up top, one wouldn't expect the photographic bounty cut into the earth just a short walk away from the dirt parking lot located nearby a massive industrial power plant of some kind. What I found was a remarkable slot canyon where the sun's colors created an amazing and dynamic environment of contrast, shadows and colors. Conditions were a bit challenging as a stiff topside wind was blowing sand and dust everywhere. Having a pair of snow goggles would have been helpful as the tight narrows of the canyon helped to create focused blasts of dust clouds. The thought of changing lenses made me cringe knowing that dust would fill up the internals of my camera. I'm pretty good at switching out lenses and can do it in a couple of seconds with a bit of planning. Even then, I had a fun evening with my sensor cleaning products. My schedule was somewhat limited on time as this is a place I could easily stay a half day exploring. Definitely a place I would recommend and look forward to getting back to one day soon.

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,-

El sensor que está en segundo plano es inductivo y detecta cuando el piñón de ataque del prelanzador está en reposo (LED verde) y cuando está accionado (LED rojo). Este único LED está encima del panel de instrumentos al lado del cuenta revoluciones del rotor y se ilumina en verde o rojo según el sensor detecta o no el piñón de ataque. Es un elemento que nos indica que una vez prelanzado, el piñón a descendido completamente y se puede iniciar el despegue al pasar de color rojo a color verde.
