Uncle Goose Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 OK, here are the photographs taken with an Agfa Click II. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the scans, thephotographs are much sharper then those of the Clack. Not bad for a cheap plastic camera. And yes, the shutterdoes "Click" when pressed :). And you have 12 pictures instead of the 8 of the Clack. The Click II is quite awinner, I will use it a little more in the future. Tomorrow I will take out the Agfa Gevabox for a try.<br><br><img src="http://users.skynet.be/unclegoose/click/click2.jpg"><br><br><img src="http://users.skynet.be/unclegoose/click/click3.jpg"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connealy Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Excellent. Interesting that such good edge sharpness was achieved without curving the film plane as in the Clack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick_van_Nooij Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Wonderful pictures, just as with the Clack, Uncle Goose. I always seem to pass through/around Gent without stopping when I'm in Belgium.....Maybe I should. I've got too many cameras that need exercise. Got a Leica IIIa and a IIIc loaded with film, a Certo Super Dollina and there's an Argus C-3 that I've just serviced that begs to be used... Looking forward to see what you can do with the next one! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_b4 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Mike: I have an Agfa Click 1. I don't know what the differences are between the Click 1 and the Click 2, but after reading your comment I double checked mine and the film plane is definitely curved.

Uncle Goose Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 Yes both the Click I and Click II have a curved filmplane. The difference between the 2 is the lens, the Click II is supposed to have a portrait lens. As for the rest they are the same. Soon I will also have an Agfa Isola II which I will test of course and post the results here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_gilday Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Very nice photos, but is it just me, or is there some pretty severe barrel distortion going on? Especially near the edges of the frames, things that look like they should be straight, aren't... I used to have a Click - the I, I think - but sold it, as the flash sync didn't work. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connealy Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I've never seen a Click in the flesh. It looks thinner front to back, but I guess that is because it doesn't have the folded-in film chambers of the Clack. I don't see any barrel distortion in the second shot, so I'm wondering if what one sees in the first is just an artifact of scanning. Very fine shots, in any case.

ralf_j. Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Great shots from the Click. Indeed the photos loolk shakper than the ones from the Clack. Good better lighting consditions be the cause? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Goose Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 I think it's just the lens that is a little tad better, originally the Clack was intended to be a contactprint camera and not for big enlargments. The Click however was probably designed to be used for larger prints (especially the Click II as it has a Portrait lens). I will take out the Click again soon and try to see what it gives on portraits. It made me curious enough to try it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
