Latest revision as of 21:00, 14 February 2014

Optima Reflex is a 35mm film TLR camera made by Agfa and produced between 1961-66.

The camera has eye-level pentaprism, programmed auto exposure control prefers fast shutter speeds and manual control for flash and B settings. There is three distance symbols. Matched Agfa Color-Apotar 45mm f/2.8 lenses in special Prontor shutter with speeds 1/30-1/250 +B.

This is an unusual design based on the earlier Agfa Flexilette and very rare one. The Agfamatic Reflex is a name variant for distribution in Canada. ^[1]
