Agfa reflex quick-change
Spec Notes
Named in Agfa's Agfaflex III/IV/V instruction book and priced as a separate accessory in Agfa's 1 September 1960 dealer price list; also in the Selectaflex manual's lens gallery. ONE COLLECTOR SOURCE SINGLES THIS LENS OUT, with the Solagon, as an exception that does not cross from Selectaflex to Ambiflex; that is recorded and not resolved. AGFA PUBLISHES NO OPTICAL SPECIFICATION FOR THIS LENS. Elements, groups, filter thread, minimum focus, blades, weight and per-lens production years are ABSENT from Agfa's own instruction books and from every source consulted. HAZARD: an Ambiflex-era lens will mount on a Selectaflex body and then cannot be removed without mechanical intervention. Agfa's museum states it in German and in its own English: "Ambiflex-Objektive passen nicht bei der Selectaflex!!! Sie lassen sich dann nicht mehr entfernen!" The reverse direction works: a first-hand mount test reports a Selectaflex lens fitting an Ambiflex body. The physical tell of an Ambiflex-era lens is a funnel-shaped notch at the distance-scale mark. NO flange focal distance exists for either mount, from any source.
