[edit] Comments

Silent version of the Agfa Movexoom 10 Sound MOS Electronic; pretty much the same as the Agfa Movexoom 6 MOS Electronic, but with a better lens. It reads Ektachrome 64T as ISO 25/40 so a 2/3 stop correction is needed.

[edit] Reviews

This is a large, heavy, black camera with a wide range of facilities. The Variostar zoom lens is one of the very few that gives a 6mm wide angle without an aspheric attachment. Unfortunately its very rare in the UK. It does not seem to been advertised by Agfa in the amateur movie magazines. Its very reminiscent of the Nizo sound cameras.
