![]() The operation is extremely simple but effective. However, wielding this camera somehow makes me feel like I’m not afraid to get a bit extra adventurous with it. ![]() The plastic body may not be to the standards that others might want to feel in the camera, that high-quality ruggedness and sturdiness. Here was a camera that’s made to look like a toy with its plastic build and simple mechanics and operation. The name implies this camera can be wielded by anyone, even a kid! In all honesty, I was a little underwhelmed when I first held the Lubitel 2 but hear me out first. In fact, the word ‘lubitel’ translated to amateur. For starters, this is a fully mechanical and manual twin lens reflex camera. Tripod: Located on right side which is also used as a socket for a camera strap.Ĭase: Leather with camera strap socket hole. Viewfinder: Large finder with parallax marks for near focus.įilm advance: Manual single-strong lever with a ‘R’ button to rewind the film when pressed down and turned.įlash: None but hot-shoe with flash selected in focus ring.Ĭable release socket: Located on left side of the camera. Shutter: Paratronic with speeds 1/15-1/500.įocus: Manual with pictograms and top and meter/feet scale on the bottom of the focus ring focusing from 3ft/1.09m to infinity. ![]() Lens: Solitar f2,8/40mm lens with 4 elements single-coated. Type: 35mm film viewfinder camera introduced in 1976 by Agfa and is part of the Agfa Optima Sensor series. The camera operates with ease, the functionality is easy to get used to, and the performance, when done right, can result in some beautifully-framed shots. The few buttons and switches are all in the right places. This is a beautifully designed film camera with clean lines, a heavenly large viewfinder, a near-perfect film advance lever, and that beautiful red shutter button. If a minimalist was given a choice of film cameras, the Agfa Optima Electronic Sensor range would be high on their list. Taking a temporary departure from the essay-like reviews I normally write for my initial thoughts and review on film cameras, I’m trying out a more minimalist approach that focuses on cleaner review comprising of a paragraph-long description, technical specifications, photos of the camera, and sample photos. ![]()
