Agfa Click-I image by Süleyman Demir (Image rights)

Click-I is a medium format film viewfinder camera manufactured by Agfa Kamerawerk AG, Munich, Germany and produced between 1958-70.

An inexpensive snapshot camera that makes photography really simple. If there is Clack there have to be Click also. Click could be considered as an evolution model of Clack (You can easily prove it by pronouncing "clack" and "click" definitely the sound goes upwards.) A new feature is an internal yellow filter, instead the close up lens in Agfa Clack. Body material is plastic and the shutter noise is civilized. ^[1]

The bend back cover plays a role as a film pressure plate and provides for a steady and good sharpness.

The other cameras in Click line are Agfa Click-II,Agfa Click III, Agfa click IV and Agfa click V
