The Agfa Clack was my first analogue camera (except some single use long time ago) I’ve ever bought. Hey I’ve just paid one euro as i bought it at ebay. I thought trail and error maybe it’s crap and maybe not. The first problem was that i didn’t even know what a medium format film is, but i bought one in a shop for photography. The next problem was, that i didn’t know, how i should load the film into the camera, but in the internet i found a instruction. It is really very easy and i think everyone here knows that.
As the film was loaded I’ve gone outside to make some pictures.
It was very curious, this huge monster in my hands and all this strange looks at me. But somehow I loved it.
It’s easy to make pictures with the Agfa Clack. It has a fixed-focus from 3m to infinity and another lense for 1-3m.
There are also two different shutter speeds (1/30s and B for as long as you want). The Agfa Clack is really huge and this is adequate because the photos are also very huge. It has not the “normal” square format like other medium format cameras, the negative format is 6×9cm. It is great! The camera has also a aperture switch to choose from sun or clouds.
And for showing you how huge the Agfa Clack is, here are the dimensions 111 × 100 × 92,5 mm and 320 gram.
At least nowadays I know what a medium format film is and I know how to load on into the Agfa Clack. I think i have to do it again the next days. The Agfa Clack is no crap it’s awesome.
