Description
The Agfa Clac is a medium format box camera produced by the German company Agfa from 1954 to 1965. It is known for its simplicity, ease of use, and the unique charm it brings to vintage photography. Here are some key features of the Agfa Clack:
1. **Film Type**: Uses 120 roll film, producing 6×9 cm negatives.
2. **Lens**: Meniscus lens with a fixed aperture of f/11. There is also a built-in yellow filter that can be engaged for contrast enhancement in black and white photography.
3. **Shutter Speeds**: Single shutter speed of approximately 1/30 second, plus a Bulb (B) mode for long exposures.
4. **Aperture Settings**: In addition to the standard aperture, there is a small lever that allows switching to a smaller aperture (f/16) for better depth of field and sharpness.
5. **Focusing**: Simple fixed focus, with a near and far setting. The near setting is typically used for subjects between 1 and 3 meters.
6. **Viewfinder**: Simple optical viewfinder for framing the shot.
7. **Construction**: Made of metal and plastic, making it lightweight and durable.
8. **Flash**: No built-in flash, but it has a synchronization port for attaching an external flash.
The Agfa Clack is favored by collectors and hobbyists for its straightforward design and the nostalgic quality of the images it produces. It is particularly noted for the vignetting effect and slightly soft focus that gives photos a distinctive vintage look. If you are considering using one, 120 film is still available today, and the camera’s simplicity makes it a great entry point for those interested in medium format film photography.
