Chronology of cameras Agfa
At first glance, the Agfa Selectronic Sensor appears identical to the Selectronic S, but the two models, launched at the same time, differ in the presence of a rangefinder on the S and a different lens model. It can be said that the Selectronic is the economical version of the Selectronic S.
The two models are quite easily recognizable by their black color, directly inherited from the Optima 500 Sensor from which they derive.
The Sensor shutter release button consists of a 16 mm diameter orange-colored disc, set within a 0.7 mm high chrome-plated brass collar designed to guide the finger to the center. Below the disc is the button itself, with a very short travel (less than 0.5 mm). A pressure of 300 grams on the plastic disc is sufficient to trigger the shutter. The motion blur caused by the release is thus extremely limited. Agfa will gradually equip all new models with this trigger and make it their number one advertising feature.
The patent corresponding to this shutter release button was filed in Germany in 1968 (published in 1970) under the number DE 1622174, and then in the United States in 1972 (published in 1976) under the number US 3,950,773. The title of this patent is "Operating Means for Photographic Cameras."
