An “Agfa Clack”. I’d never heard of it till last weekend’s art show, now I’ve got one, reversed the lens and have shot my first roll. It’s a 1950’s plastic point and shoot camera made in Germany that has a very simple one element lens. Much like the Kodak Brownie. When you take the camera apart and turn the lens around backwards you get some neat effects. (Makes me wonder who in the world first tried this) Here are a few shots from my first test roll taken about an hour after I got the camera in the mail off eBay and reversed the lens.
There is also a companion camera called the “Agfa Click” The Clack is a 6×9 format and the Click is 6×6. So of course another eBay order has been placed. I need to have a Click and a Clack.
Thank you to the guy who gave me the tip about the Agfa cameras.
