Chronology of cameras Agilux
Agilux is a brand of Aeronautical & General Instruments Ltd1.
This company, based in Croydon, south of London, since 1915, initially manufactured military and civilian radio equipment. During the 1930s, the production diversified to include signaling equipment, electric navigation, radio, broadcasting, etc. During World War II, AGI produced various cameras for the Royal Air Force, the Agiflite.
After the war, the expertise was used to manufacture some models of civilian cameras under the Agilux brand, initially quite classic, then a little more original in shape or material of manufacture. AGI abandoned civilian photography in the 1960s.
1 The company still exists in 2021, now based in Poole, Dorset.
The Agima is an unusual rangefinder camera with an overall appearance reminiscent of a German camera. It is likely the evolution of the Agimatic. Like its predecessor, it has interchangeable lenses, and the viewfinder provides frames for 35, 45, and 90 mm. The rangefinder is coupled to the focusing mechanism, and it features the multi-action lever seen in the Agimatic.
It's worth noting that the lenses often exhibit signs of oxidation on the ring around the front lens.
