Description:
All models are equipped with a three-element Color Apotar 6,3 27mm lens. Focus is fixed, reaching from 1,2 m to infinite. A slider on the camera’s upside allows to choose the shutter speeds, which are represented by weather symbols, or the 0 (off) position which turns the camera off and also blocks Agfa’s Sensor -style shutter release.

The simple viewfinder has frame markings and a hinted close-focus frame marking for parallax compensation.

Even compared to the other Agfamatic models, the rigid body is surprisingly compact for having both a winder and exposure meter – almost as small as the fully mechanic earlier models. It measures 113 (L) x 53 (W) x 27 (H) mm and weighs circa 160 g.

A flash coupling exists on the right side (seen from behind the camera) for a matching electronic flash unit, which shares a connector with the disposable flip flash system. Flash sync speed is 1 50 sec. Located on the left is a standard tripod mount, pointing sideways, which was normally used for the supplied metal hand strap.

The film door of all cameras can be opened if a cover above the viewfinder is shifted to the left. Two AAA (micro) batteries can be inserted if the cover is completely pulled off. An integrated winder advances the film after each exposure and also rewinds it after the last frame.

Agfa manufactured the 901 series in their Munich factory in Germany.
