Agfamatic 2008

The Agfamatic 2008 represents the top of the range of Agfa's famous "Pocket" series. A true icon of 1970s industrial design, this device combines German engineering with revolutionary ergonomics for its time.

Instantly recognizable with its elongated silhouette and famous orange shutter release, it is the camera of choice for those who want the best possible experience on the 110 format.

The Repitomatic system: Photography in motion 📸🎞️

The major innovation of the Agfamatic 2008 is its Repitomatic mechanism. To advance the film and prepare for the next shot, simply close and then reopen the camera with a quick, accordion-like motion. This system is not only incredibly satisfying to use, but it also protects the lens and viewfinder when closed.

On the top, you'll find the iconic orange Sensor button . This circular shutter release, very wide and with an ultra-short throw, was designed to minimize camera shake when triggering the shutter, guaranteeing sharper images even in difficult lighting conditions.

A precision Color-Agnar optic 🌀⚡

Unlike the basic models, the 2008 features a high-performance Agfa Color-Agnar 26mm lens:

• Increased brightness: With an aperture of f/9.5, it is slightly brighter than the average 110 camera, offering better color rendering and contrast.
• Automatic Speeds: The device has an automatic selection system between two speeds (1/50s and 1/100s) to adapt to the ambient lighting.
• Magicube Flash: It accepts Magicube bulbs for your indoor photos, with a reliable mechanical drive.
