Agfa Optima II S Rangefinder with 45mm 2.8 Lens

AGFA LAUNCHED the Optima IIs in 1961 and discontinued the camera in 1966. There’s an f/2.8 Color Apotar lens with front cell focusing by three click-stop symbols indicating scenic, groups and a double-head portrait setting. The front turns further to just a blank part of the symbol ring, but if you look underneath you find it’s stopped at a close-up setting of 1m or 3 ¼ ft. Some makers use a single head symbol for this, but Agfa didn't on the Optima. The bright line viewfinder has a couple of small lines just inside the top to indicate the parallax error on close-upshots.
