Agfa completely threw out traditional camera design rules, giving us a bold, blocky silhouette that feels like a piece of retro-future industrial art. The defining characteristic is that massive red sensor button—it triggers with the lightest touch, meaning you rarely introduce shake when firing. Unlike its sibling, the 1035, this version adds an integrated flash arm and runs entirely on two standard, highly accessible AAA batteries instead of obsolete button cells. The 40mm Solitar lens behaves beautifully, rendering photographs with a striking, contrasty European look and lovely saturation. Complete with its original fitted case, it is a completely transparent, satisfyingly tactile companion for daily street documentation.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eAgfa Optima Flash Sensor\u003c\/b\u003e 35mm Compact Film Camera (S\/N: Checked \/ Secure)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\"\u003eIntegrated \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"11\"\u003eAgfa Paratronic Solitar 40mm f\/2.8\u003c\/b\u003e Lens\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,2,0\"\u003eOriginal Fitted Agfa Protective Fitted Camera Case\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,3,0\"\u003eFitted Black Woven Wrist Carry Strap\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"9\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\"\u003eBrand: \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"7\"\u003eAgfa\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\"\u003eModel: \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"10,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"7\"\u003eOptima Flash Sensor (Optima Flash)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,2,0\"\u003eCamera Type: Compact Film Camera\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,3,0\"\u003eFilm Format: 35mm Roll Film (Standard 24x36mm Full-Frame)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,4,0\"\u003eLens Type: Integrated Zone-Focus Prime Lens\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,5,0\"\u003eFocal Length: 40mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,6,0\"\u003eMaximum Aperture: f\/2.8\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,7,0\"\u003eShutter System: Electronically Controlled Paratronic Leaf Shutter (1\/45s to 1\/1000s)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,8,0\"\u003eFilm Speed Range: ISO 25 (15 DIN) to ISO 500 (28 DIN) manually selected\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10,9,0\"\u003eCategory: 1.
