1. Surprisingly heavy
2. Clunky menu system
3. Noisy film "winder"

Yes, the SFX has it's drawbacks but despite all that I still enjoy shooting with mine, though mine are the "n" variant which has a extra top shutter speed of 1/4000s, not sure if there are other differences.

Automatic exposure bracketing is the main thing, and a slightly faster power winder.

Hello,

Not sure if this counts as gear p0rn or X-Ray vision...

Thanks,

Agfa Optima 1535. The huge orange shutter button is the Agfa signature. Super camera with a great lens and fantastic viewfinder. The zone focus only (but smaller) 1035 is great too.

I like the hot shoe off the prism. I usually use a bracket with flash and having it off the hot shoe helps a little with red-eye. That's why I don't think removing the popup flash from a top of the line camera is a bad thing. I never use the built-in flash in digital or film.

The Nikon built in flashes from the D70 onwards are definitely worth having as they can act as 'commanders' for off camera flashes without contributing any light themselves.

Although drifting into digital territory here, so can the pop-up flashes for Pentax cameras. I used to use this with my K10D/K20D quite a bit for photographing inscriptions. Not tried with the K-3 as I picked-up a couple of cheap radio triggers instead which I found easier to set-up.

The "Sensor" button is red and some think it was the same designer behind the Plaubel Makina 67 and the Agfa 1535...

If not the same designer, it certainly looks like they were inspired by it!

Every time I see that photo, I have a strong desire for both cameras.

Over the past two months I've completed my user-collector Auto 110 & Auto 110 Super set, minus a Winder II. 18mm, 18mm Pan Focus, 24mm, 50mm, 20-40mm, 70mm, Winder, AF-100P, AF-130P and the rarely seen belt clip!
I shot a roll of Lomography Tiger 200 with the A 110. Now I have to run a roll through the A 110 Super which arrived just yesterday. The Super was jammed, however a little bit of lube and a smack and it is running well.

Wow! What a great collection! Love that zoom.

Do you have all the filters and close-up lenses?

I have another, original full system set from 1980 with all the hoods, filters and C.U. lenses for the 18-24-50.
Need a winder II and the silver steel hand strap.
Getting the belt clip with the well used A 110 Super was a surprise. Not listed and no in the photos. That rare piece makes up for the missing wind lever cove, flash contact cover and SSN engraved on the flash.
