Agfamatic 100

A 3D visualisation of the camera I owned when I was eight (right, that wasn’t yesterday)

One day I was clearing out the cellar and found my first camera, an Agfamatic 100 Sensor. It took those cartridges with the film you poked in, and if you wanted to use a flash, you used disposable cubes that you turned 90° for the next shot. Not very environmentally friendly by today’s standards, but my digital version turned out pretty okay anyway.

Those were the days

Fake leather, plastic and a bit of aluminium

A bunch of Osram cubes on a table, next to the camera that had no viewfinder. And you set the exposure in two steps. No fuss.

Shallow depth of field. Unclear what depth of field the camera itself had, though.
