Description
-
Compact camera made of gold-colored metal and plastic.
It takes half-frame photographs on 35mm film, but since it uses the Agfa Rapid cassette system, it cannot accept standard 135 cartridges and therefore does not allow for up to 72 exposures. In fact, the frame counter only goes up to 24!
Film advance is handled via a horizontal plunger that pops out once the shot has been taken (watch your eyes!). Pressing the plunger only advances the film—cocking the shutter requires pressing the shutter release.
Lens: Meyer-Optik Trioplan 1:3.5/30
Shutter speeds: 1/30 to 1/125 sec, plus Bulb (B) mode.
Sold under the Welta brand, engraved on the underside of the body.
Comes with a matching lens hood.
