Agfa Click
Agfa Click the name of the last Agfa - roll film camera in the format 6 x 6 cm with 120 roll film .
The Click was the last roll film camera in the series, from the Rietzschel predecessors to the Standards, the Billys , the Boxes and Records to the Isolettes . The floor cameras turned into folding cameras , boxes and finally those with a fixed tube. The Clack camera formed an intermediate form from the box to the click. There were not only changes in the technical structure. Wood, metal and leather were replaced by plastic at the Click. Only a few mechanical parts were made of metal.
Distinguishing features
The viewfinder either has a straight base (viewfinder 1) or is canted (viewfinder 2).
surface
Clasp
Single shutter with only one exposure time, no B setting, no cable release connection possible.
cover
Made in ...
Locking mechanism
a) can be seen from the front through the front lens b) is covered (on 1292 and 1310)
Lightning connection
The Clibo speed camera is required for the Agfa Click with its special flash connection. It can also be used with the Synchro-Box (Cli = Click, bo = Box).
In India, Agfa offered a specially manufactured flash with a Clibo base: Agfa A-1.
Film stage
The film stage is curved. This improves the outline of the simple lenses (as with the Isoly cameras).
Back wall
The back wall is held in place by 2 springs and is completely removable.
Weights
The weights are different. There are two areas: around 175 grams, around 265 grams. It seems that Agfa built weights into some models to make the camera heavier and therefore more valuable. Until then, cameras were mostly made of metal. The almost complete use of plastic resulted in a significant reduction in weight. The 185 grams of the Click IV are explained by the metal accessory shoe.
