Agfa Paramat

So a while back I got this little camera in whole set of stuff I picket up, and it’s actually quite a nice little thing. Build and sold in 1963, which makes it 18 years older then me :).

It’s a semi-automatic, as you can set the aperture and it will decide what shutter-time is best and notify you if you have enough light. The focussing is ofcourse manual, and has 3 presets.

It takes normal 35mm film, but can put double the ammount of pictures as it shoots everything in portrait-mode. Has a 30mm/2.8 fixed lens which provides a nice wide angle.

Besides its automatic mode there is a flash-option (the camera features a hot-shoe connection) or a manual option, where the shutter is open as long as you press it. No preset shutter times :)

The film is loaded by removing the black part from the metal part, which basicly devides the camera in 2.

I’ve shooting some cheap film with it, when I get them developed and scanned, I’ll post some.
