Thank you so much ! This is really helpful :)
This really helped! Thanks
Hi! I just got this same camera and I want to be sure about something about how works the led inside the viewfinder. When there is good light and I press the shutter it lights up green right and when there isn't enough light it lights up red right?
What I am unsure is what does it means when the led turns red when I press the shutter but doesn't turn off for multiple seconds (up to a minute or more). Is it because to tell me that the picture keeps being taken for all the time the led is lit red because light really isn't enough and long exposure is needed?
Merci !!!!!
Can it have multiple exposures?
Cześć. Czy w wizjerze działają u Ciebie 2 diody (czerwona i zielona) czy tylko czerwona dla długich czasów ekspozycji?
Cześć, niestety ale nie pamiętam dokładnie jak działały diody w tym aparacie, a jest obecnie spakowany i nie mam go pod ręką.
do you know waits the difference of 535 and 1035 version? thank you
Differences between the models were not confined to top shutter speeds. The key features of each camera were:
Optima Sensor Electronic 335 - 40mm f/3.5 Agnatar lens with shutter speed from 1/30th to 1/300th.
Optima Sensor Electronic 535 - 40mm f/2.8 Solitar single coated lens with shutter speeds from 15 seconds to 1/500th.
Optima Sensor Electronic 1035 - 40mm f/2.8 Solitar multi coated lens with shutter speeds from 15 seconds to 1/1000th plus a self-timer.
Optima Sensor Electronic 1535 - like the 1035 but with a coupled rangefinder , and without self-timer.
Optima Sensor Electronic Flash.
Optima Sensor Electronic (no number) - like a 535.
What type of batteries does this camera use? I recently acquired one and I'm having a hard time finding out which batteries to use
0:45 - turn on subtitles ;) You need 3x 625 type batteries (PX625a)
@@smilecamera1495 The original batteries were MR9s: these are now obsolete as they contain mercury (banned in Europe in 1992). Using PX625a (alkaline) means that the voltage will change over time changing the performance of the light sensor. Better to use SR44 with a constant total voltage of 4.65V rather than 4.05V of the originals and adjust the film speed setting to compensate. Shame that this basic but vital knowledge is not in the video.
Hi, do you have a link to find these? I only see SR44 1.55V on amazon, can't find 4.65V. Is it better to get SR44 1.55V silver oxide or PX625 alkaline? Thanks! @@1963TOMB
The batteries are mercury 625 at 1.35v so a total of 4 volts, and due to the mercury you can't buy them anymore. There are replacement that will fit but are 1.5v, and the needed 3 equal 4.5 volts that could damage the camera electronics.
Wein Air batteries are 1.3 volts, but have heard from a number of camera forum users that ones purchased were very old and not working. There is a device that drops a 1.5v battery voltage to 1.3v and fits the size, but are expensive.
THREE 675 hearing aid batteries (1.40v) with a little plastic filling at the side will dot the work very cheap and very exact.
@@spyridonmthank you so much for this comment. I was in a pinch in Japan with this camera and your comment saved my day.
Hi, do you have a link for these? Can't seem to find what you're mentioning... Thanks!@@spyridonm
@@mathouETcatouJust GOOGLE "675 hearing aid batteries " and you will find thousands of them.
Interestingly the viewfinder very reminiscent of Leica cameras....
I had some issues with my first roll. I only managed to get the first and last exposures, the rest was blank. Any idea what the issue may have been?
Hi! I would start by checking the battery. Next step - nobody accidentally open the camera? Failed photos are overexposed or blank? Maybe you took the middle photos indoors and it was too dark, and the first and last photos near the window / outside?
@@smilecamera1495 thanks for your reply! I just got the negatives and actually only 2 exposures in the middle and two at the end came out. Some were outdoors and some indoors! The batteries were new and I put them in myself. I thought maybe the shutter was the issue or I was winding the film incorrectly?
@marissa aguiniga do You correctly set ASA ring 2:43 ? and check the light meter are clean?
I have had the same issue in the past! Only 50% of my roll was exposed, in random patterns. I've just put in new batteries, and when I wind on the shot, my red light comes on and stays on - unlike in this video where it only comes on when pressing the button. I'm going to make sure the light has gone green every time I take a photo and see if that makes a difference this time around 😊
@@smilecamera1495 i did, i think you're right it may be the light meter
When i rewind the film, the film indcator bar at the right of camera didn't move. any suggestion?
That's it normal, frame counter stay in place. You should look at circle in the bottom. This sight show move of the film. 0:18 this circle.
@@smilecamera1495 yes i see it, so the circle will stop once the film completely rewind?
@@rafiilham456 Yes, it will stop rotating
So if you want to rewind the film you press the R button then start to reload it manual?
Exactly like that, press R and twist it slightly, start rewinding the film
Thank you!
Can you use other brand film roll or does it only uses Agfa rolls?
Yes, you can use any 135 type films/rolls.
If the battery is run out, can it still taking shot?
I think it needs batteries just for the flash
@@IliasKoureas There is no builtin flash. It needs the batteries to take pictures, because both shutter speed and aperture are automatic.
@@cosarara97 Thank you i figured that out with mine!! The Only problem is how am i supposed to know when my batteries run out? Any solution for this?
@@IliasKoureas if you half-press the shutter release button in the dark, it should show a red light inside the viewfinder indicating that there is not enough light to take a shot. See 01:30 in the video.
@@cosarara97 yeah that's sadly the only useful sign this camera shows me about the batteries. What happens if they run out halfway of a film? 😭
