Description
The Agfa Microflex 200 Sensor is a remarkably compact Super 8 camera from 1970, often described as the smallest Super 8 film camera in the world. Made in Germany by Agfa, it packs an impressive amount of functionality into an elegant and highly portable body, making it a beautiful piece for collectors and a genuinely appealing choice for anyone drawn to vintage filmmaking.
This camera features a sharp Agfa Movaron f 2.0 lens with a 9 to 30 mm zoom range, offering a versatile 3.3x zoom for a variety of framing options. Focusing is manual from 1.5 metres to infinity, giving you direct control over the image, while the single lens reflex viewfinder with adjustable eyepiece makes composing shots feel precise and intuitive. Its fully automatic TTL exposure system helps keep filming simple and fluid, with warning signals in the viewfinder for underexposure and film end.
The Microflex 200 Sensor uses silent Super 8 cartridges and runs at 18 frames per second, delivering that unmistakable home movie texture that makes the format so special. It has a built in 85A filter with manual cancellation, automatic film speed setting for 25 and 40 ASA film, and a compact motor driven design powered by two AA batteries. Despite its small size, it feels thoughtfully engineered and distinctly serious in use.
This example is in very good condition and comes with its original leather case, a detail that adds both charm and practicality. It is a camera with strong visual presence, clever design, and real historical appeal, perfect for collectors of vintage cine equipment or for anyone who wants to explore the tactile pleasure of shooting on Super 8 film.
