Spec Notes
NOT THE SAME LENS as the Ambi Silette Color-Telinear 90mm f/4. The f/3.4 is documented on BOTH sides by Agfa - the Agfaflex instruction book and the 1 September 1960 dealer price list - and the f/4 by a museum and a mount database. Same printed family name, different lens. 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.
