- This will be my last gear centric video.
I want to focus on the images and less on the image device in future.

They made about 1,5 million of them and you'll find them often very cheap (at least here in the Netherlands). I bought a few of them for about € 5,- pp. They're also great for converting to pinhole camera's.
Surprisingly sharp photos considering the lens and Kodak Gold being more of a daylight film. I have some 100 ISO B&W film loaded in my Clack which I'll be trying out at night. Its nice to work with such large 6x9 negatives.
Fun but frustrating little camera. I sold mine after I realized it's impossible to get a non-motion-blurred image shooting handheld because of the slow shutter speed. Before I sold it I got some cool images after flipping the meniscus lens backwards and using BW IR film (tripod, cable release, and holding the filter in front of the lens). Gives a blurry dreamy Holga effect.
Great video! I just got myself a Agfa Clack as well and I'm looking forward to some night and low light long exposures. I was wondering what you use to judge your exposure time? Is there a light meter settings you look for to set for this type of camera? I have a light meter phone app but I'm struggling to understand how to pull how many seconds of exposure time out of the information provided.
Really impressed by the sharpness of the lens. A surprisingly good camera and of course any blurriness was artistic.
I have just picked up a clack and a click. The click is 6x6 and made of plastic.. Much the same but no B mode. Do you. Really need a tripod in good light? Is the shutter that slow?
