Greetings,
I was wondering if anyone knows about the quality of AFGA super 8 camera/lens. I have a AGFA Movexzoom 10 sound mos waiting for me for $ 50.00. (lens 6-60mm WOW! ) It's like brand new, but I'm not sure of the quality. Any comments?
Thanks,
Al

Hi Al,
I once had the very same one (up to 1989), and it worked very fine and reliable. Similar to Nizo, perhaps same factory. Easy lap dissolve automatic, by only pressing the trigger down to a second stop. Servo motor for the iris, not simply a swingin magnetic coil like most consumer cameras.
Very big viewfinder with split image causes remarkable light loss and limits the low light use. triplet connection is not very good, because it´s located at the top of the handle.
I only was not happy with the split image, but this is not because of the camera, this problem I have with split image in general. So I got a Beaulieu with ground glass focussing.
Good luck,
Pedro
