have just bought an old agfa optima I (1960) 35mm film camera, the view finder and ? light sensor are fogged with what looks like mould. I have found a repair manual for the agfa optima but the top panel is different on mine.. the shutter release is on the front of the camera not the top as in that version. I've googled for a few days and not found any other repair manual.. found the user guide which is not much good for what I need. Does anyone know of another source for a vintage camera manual for these?? the camera works but I'd love it to be doing a much better job and look as it should. Thanks a lot.
thanks to oldturkey for providing the manual..I haven't got round to fixing it yet but hopefully I will. I have a test roll in the camera to see how things are before I do the repair..may not have to?
