AGFA OPTIMA 5000 - 110 Format Camera from the 1970s

[@SaskFisher]

Thats the coolest old camera I have seen! I remember in school we had a filming class and had to learn how to take out the film and put in in the dark. It was neat

[@mikaelrphoto]

Yeah it's definitely different from any other cameras I have! Thanks for stopping by!

I got one at a flea market, too! However, I played around with the buttons while closed, and now it advances the film every time I close the camera. Any idea what I did wrong?😭

Thanks!

This camera can use 110 films from how many ISO ?

Can I take photos without the batterie ?

[@mikaelrphoto]

I don't think so, the light meter needs batteries, the LR44 batteries are easy to find anyway.

Helo, do you have any experience about it since this video? Im considering buying one, but I do not really find reviews about it :D That wouldnt be the first analog for me, I already have 2, but I saw a whole box of this in a shop for $30 in good condition. Does it worth it? :)

Hello! So far I've not been able to test it. The BW 110 film I need is constantly sold out. I recently found some expired color film that I will test it with, but I have no idea in what condition the film is in. I bought mine for 5 euros with the box, but I have no idea what they are actually worth.

When it has no film in, the shutter clicks as it should when you press the button. But when there is film in there it doesn't do anything when the button is pressed. I dont have a bloody clue what its doing, film cameras are before my time.

[@mikaelrphoto]

Strange, I have not had that problem, it was working fine for me.

[@lordadamfirst]

@@mikaelrphoto OK seems to work now I think I didnt wind it on far enough. There's a little tooth that allows the shutter to work when its engaged in the little hole in the film.
