Rangefinder camera Agfa Optima 200 is held by Roscheider Hof Open Air Museum. Museum description: The Agfa Optima is a small, handy rectangular block made of cast metal with artificial leather covering.
Its lens is an Agfa Color Apotar 1: 2.8 42. It has a sensor shutter release that only needs to be touched lightly to trigger, intended to reduce camera shake. It measures distance and the required exposure, which can then simply be set. It was manufactured from 1966 to 1974. It no longer looks brand new, but is still in good shape for its age. The museum record gives measurements L: 120 mm B: 90 mm H: 80 mm. These details come from the holding museum's own record; how far this object represents a wider collectible type has not yet been independently verified.
