David's first camera, 1962
The Agfa Click-II (1959–1970) was a lightweight German 6×6 medium-format viewfinder camera with a fixed ~1/30s shutter, and an Agfa Acromat 1:8.8/72.5 mm two-element lens with fixed focus.
It used 120 roll film, yielding 12 exposures at 6×6 cm. The controls were simple: 2 apertures for sun (f/11), cloud/portrait (f/8.8), and a "close-up" mode (2.5–4 m). The Click-II produced soft, vignetted, almost dreamy images, a style later loved by Lomography users.
Today it’s remembered as a charming, lo-fi cult classic.
