Rangefinder

Agfa Optima 1535 Sensor

The Agfa Optima 1535 Sensor is a rangefinder with a 69.0 × 56.0 mm sensor measuring 69.0 × 56.0 mm. Its crop factor is 0.49× — wider than full frame, so a 50 mm lens frames like 24 mm. Every number below is calculated for this exact sensor.

Focal length equivalents & field of view#

Multiply any focal length by 0.49 to get the full-frame field of view. For fixed-lens cameras use the real focal length printed on the lens (e.g. “6.1–18.3 mm”), not the 35 mm equivalent.

Equivalent aperture#

Exposure is identical at the same f-number on any format; equivalence only describes depth of field and total light.

Night-sky exposure limits#

Longest exposure before stars trail. The NPF rule accounts for pixel pitch and is stricter than the classic 500 rule — use it for pin-sharp stars on high-resolution sensors. (NPF needs a known resolution and is omitted here.)

Focal length500 rule
29 mm (14 mm eq.)35.4 s
41 mm (20 mm eq.)25.0 s
49 mm (24 mm eq.)21.0 s

Handheld shutter speed guide#

The reciprocal rule uses the equivalent focal length. High-resolution sensors may need one stop faster than this for pixel-sharp results.

Lens#

The Agfa Optima 1535 Sensor has a built-in, non-interchangeable lens. Use the real focal length of that lens with the tables above; its full-frame equivalent is that number × 0.49.

Frequently asked questions#

What is the crop factor of the Agfa Optima 1535 Sensor?

The Agfa Optima 1535 Sensor has a crop factor of 0.49× relative to 35 mm full frame (diagonal 88.9 mm vs 43.3 mm).

What size is the Agfa Optima 1535 Sensor sensor?

69.0 × 56.0 mm (69.0 × 56.0 mm), an area of 3864 mm² — 447% of full frame.

Is the Agfa Optima 1535 Sensor full frame?

No — its sensor is larger than full frame (medium format).

How long can I expose the night sky with the Agfa Optima 1535 Sensor?

With a 41 mm lens (20 mm equivalent) the 500 rule gives 25 s.
