Introduced in 1976, the Agfa Optima 1035 Sensor is the high-water mark of German industrial design from the 1970s. Designed by the Schlagheck Schultes Design studio (the same minds behind the legendary Plaubel Makina 67), it was built for the photographer who values minimalism and tactile precision. While the Optima series was popular in Europe, the 1035, with its faster 1/1000s shutter and multi-coated Solitar S lens, is significantly harder to find than the base models. It is a "quiet achiever" in the film world, famous for its massive, bright viewfinder and the iconic large red "sensor" shutter button.
