I finally shot the whole roll, even though I forgot to focus sometime, used the wrong point at first to set my aperture, it takes surprisingly good sharp pictures.
These little things are a ton of fun, and great to tote around when you don't want to bring much, or bring anything you'd be bummed to loose - aka a rafting trip. :)
Nice review, I got a few questions that you might be capable of answering. Is possible of using the camera in a bulb mode? How often do you get bad results, because the parameters to control seem pretty narrow? Can you trick the camera somehow to do a double exposure? Thanks in advance
hey, great video! I have a problem with the rewind thingy in mine. I am able to take picrtues and advance film just fine, but it is in the red dot, I read it's supposed to be on the white one. I am not able to move the circle to the white dot and also I am not able to rewind the film. any idea what should I do? Thank you!
Hello George! the serial number it's infact the year it was made, Russia and the soviet union used that system. the number it starts with its the year it was made. :)
Hi Apparently mine Agat has damaged reset counter. This little pin near sprocket gear which supposed to reset the counter doesnt work because it is loose, it doesnt spring back. Am I able to repair it?
just a question Agat users. can you check 3:31 on this video? i can see an almost "1/4 pie" cut in the lens. i have the same thing on the Agat18k that i received today from ebay. is this normal? do you have the same on your lens and will it not affect the final image?
thanks George! i almost got disappointed with the seller :) another question..with this not having shutter speed control, would that mean that Sunny16 rule cannot be applied on this? as when i align f8, the equivalent is almost sunny on the top guide. and if i select cloudy, it's pointing at f5.6 (which by rule is cloudy=f8). any comment on this? i know it's already given on the guide of the camera itself...but just curious. thanks
Do you still have it ? I'll know it's been 7 year or 8.. Kinda looking for 35mm film camera and found out half frame.. so. Can you give me recommend camera.
Hi man, thx a lot for the video. I was wondering if You'd be so kind and make another one, with some explanation how to load the AGAT camera with film. Greetz, Yerz
To test it: Open the camera. There's a tiny pin button you can push in. Push and hold it. While holding that button, turn the sprocket until you hear the shutter cock. When the shutter cocks press the shutter button.
Hi, ah well - I don't know. The wheel for film-transportation doesn't rotate. So it destroys film's perforation. :( Will check out the profile, thanks!
check out my video on the camera giveaway contest. I show you how to load and rewind the Belomo Agat 18k. I'm also giving away this camera to a lucky subscriber

I would guess БелОМО stands from Belarus Optical and Mechanical Association similar to ЛОМО being Leningrad Optical and Mechanical Association
Hi!

Shutter speed remains the same, only thing you change is the iso.
George Moore ...iso?
You're changing pairs of shutter speed and exposure, as far as I remember. They're "hard-coupled".
how do you take apart the view finder mine has stuff in it and I want to clean it out, thanks for your time.
Do you still have it ? I'll know it's been 7 year or 8..
Kinda looking for 35mm film camera and found out half frame.. so. Can you give me recommend camera.
What filter size is on the lens ? do you know if its the same size as a trip 35?
Is that Agat still for sale?

Love the review ! Thanks !
Very informative. Thank you.
Ah, finally it appeared that my Agat has got broken, that's why I had troubles with it.
Will have to buy another one, heh.

will do!
Thanks a lot man, it would be really great! :)
ok so i think i found this really tiny pin and I turn the sprocket (the big big one or the tiny right under the pin ?) but i didnt hear the cock
just recorded the video yesterday! I'm also giving away an agat 18k. I'll edit and upload the video tonight
I'll take that as a compliment.
Great review, thanks ;-)
it would really help me too !:)

самый простой фото аппарат, был у меня такой
У меня и сейчас он живой лежит, выкинуть жалко...
What's wrong with it? Have you checked out my flickr tutorial on agat 18k repairs? my flickr username is djgeorgie
I hope I win
Был у меня такой в детстве, году в 1984-85
Честно сказать отвратительный аппарат, старая Смена и то лучше снимала.
Не понимаю восхищения.
okay i think i did it but only once :D
