Chronology of cameras Agfa
The Agfa Clack1 is somewhere between a box-type camera and a compact camera, as its proportions are closer to the former. It is a massive, sturdy, and rustic camera with a viewfinder on the top cover, a wheel for advancing the film, a flash socket, a plastic side handle, and a reptile skin-like plastic covering. It also has a retractable close-up lens attachment.
It takes 6 x 9 cm format photos on 120 film. Agfa produced it for more than ten years. During this long period, the camera underwent only a few rare modifications, the most notable being the addition of a yellow filter. Other differences include variations in the film advance button, the presence or absence of colored pictograms, and different text under the lens. Models with an inscription mentioning the full name of the company are older than those with only a "Made in Germany" label.
1The name "Clack" was already used by Rietzschel at the beginning of the century.
The particularities of this specimen are:
The film advance knob has 18 facets
The adjustment pictogram around the lens is black and white
The absence of the yellow filter
The diaphragm reserved for shooting in bright light has a smaller diameter than the other two
The inscription under the lens reads AGFA CAMERA-WERK AG Munchen Germany.
