Agimatic - Made in England

45mm Agilux lens f2.8. B 1/1 1/2 1/5 1/10 1/25 1/50 1/100 1/200 1/350! Uncouple rangefinder, interchangeable lens and the film is would with the shutter lever.

Poundland Agfa for test run. Sorry about the spots have not yet tidied it up.

Nice scene and good colours but there looks to be a slight out-of-focus softness throughout. Is this the scanning or is the neg out-of-focus?

Agi was made in England by Aeronautical And General Instrument Co. Ltd. unfortunately I'm old enough to remember .

Yes but I'm just a touch younger and used a 6x6 Agifold in the early 1990's with a built in extinction meter, it wasn't a bad camera - I made a mistake and had just moved house and stored it and a few other cameras in my dry cellar in the winter, in the summer things changed and it was very humid, the Agifold, an early Rolleicord and a few other cameras all suffered terminally from damp and corrosion, a lesson learnt.

AGI made aerial/mapping cameras into this millennium. I still use an AGI shutter with a 150mm G Claron but they aren;t up to scratch with a Compur, Prontor SVE or even Epsilon.

I think it might be the camera. this is from the only film through it so far. I have a black and white in at the moment and will be trying a few test shots. Winding on via the release lever is odd. One wants to give a second push, but this just means another picture taken so just one push through!!
