Rare 'No Name' Agfa Optima 535 Electronic viewfinder camera. Fully operational.

Manufacturer: Agfa Kamerawerk, Munich, Germany

Model: Optima 535 Electronic Sensor (see note below).

Year of production: 1976

Shutter: Agfa Paratronic 15 secs -1/500th sec

Comes with: Original Agfa leatherette pouch, complete and in good vintage condition. Shoulder strap. Original instruction manual. 3 x PX625 batteries. 

Note: This is a very rare and unusual version of the Agfa Optima 535. It has none of the usual marking on the front of the camera apart from the flash symbol. There is absolutely no evidence that the markings have been removed and it clearly came from the factory without markings.

Cosmetic condition (see photos and definitions): Excellent. 

Cosmetic defects: One paint chip on the bottom corner of the camera body (see photos)

Operational condition: The camera sensor operates with 3 button cell batteries. These have been replaced and the camera appears to be operating as it should, but automatic operation has not been tested with film. The shutter fires correctly and the red and green lights in the viewfinder are functioning.  The viewfinder and the lens appear to be clean.

Operational defects: None apparent.

Disclaimer: 

This camera has not been tested with film. Any camera of this age would probably benefit from a general mechanical service if you intend to use it. I check all lenses for fungus as best I can, but do not guarantee that any lens is entirely fungus free. I recommend having any lens professionally cleaned if you intend to use the camera. Due to the age of this camera it is being sold as seen without warranty.
