Pentacon Penti


(1959) Same as the Pentacon Orix, but now called the Penti.  Focusing 30mm (f3.5) lens.  Shutter speeds of 1/30 - 1/125.  No meter; manual exposure settings only.  It used Agfa rapid cassettes and came in bright, metallic covers, such as gold-anodized aluminum.  Cold shoe on the top.  After the shutter is released, the rod pops out from the left side of the camera, advancing the film by spring power. Pushing the rod back in cocks the shutter and tensions the film transport spring.
