Chronology of cameras Agfa
The silhouette of the Agfamatic 110, like that of the Kodak Instamatic, marked the 1970s. It is that of a rectangular body, often two-tone (black and silver), with the side sliding part serving both as a protective cover for the lens and as a film advance lever, following the principle of Minox cameras. The film advance system is called Repitomatic by Agfa. The silhouette is completed by a fashionable metal strap of the time.
On these cameras, the shutter release button is characteristic, as it is the Sensor.
In the Agfamatic numbering system, the thousands series (1000, 2000, 3000, etc.) refers to cameras with connectors for Flashcubes. The 8 series (1008, 2008, 3008, etc.) refers to the same cameras, but with a connector for Flipflash.
The thousands series can be Flash pocket if the cameras have a built-in electronic flash.
The 8 series can also be Tele pocket when the camera's focal length is doubled or Makro pocket when the lens is also macro. The Tele function is achieved by adding an additional lens to the lens. The viewfinder is also modified accordingly.
The shape of the 901 series cameras is different from that of the other Agfamatics since the film advance is driven by a motor and there is no longer a sliding part. The plastic housing is entirely black, except for the orange Sensor trigger.
In 1982, Agfa revived its range by distinguishing a Sport model in Ferrari red and an adventurer Tramp model in khaki with US Army stencil markings.

1 Automatic adjustment when the flash is installed.
__________Unlike the 1000 model, the 2000 incorporates all the features of the Agfamatic series.
It is easy to handle, and the choice of shutter speed depends on two weather-related pictograms. The sun corresponds to 1/100 sec, and the overcast sky to 1/50 sec. When a flashcube is attached to the camera, the speed is automatically set to 1/50 sec. Similarly to the accessories available from Kodak, a device can be inserted between the camera body and the flashcube to reduce the "red-eye" effect.
The optional Agfamatic Pocket Lux or Lux 234 flash can be attached to the threaded socket normally used for the wrist strap. Electrical contact is established by connecting a cord to the flashcube slot.
A latch located under the camera allows the camera body to stay closed; otherwise, it automatically unfolds to enable aiming and shooting.
The lens is named Color Agnar, featuring a 9.5/26 mm aperture with three resin lenses. The viewfinder is a "bright line" type. Film replacement is possible whether the camera body is closed or open (unlike the 1000 model).
