Excellent review! Just so you know, the Agfa Vista you shot was the original Vista from Agfa, that was discontinued about 13 years ago, the recent one was AgfaPhoto Vista, which was simply rebranded Fuji stock, possibly C200.
Man, you got yours from Goodwill for $1 cheaper than me haha. I have the L35AF. Seems like the same thing basically. Mine has 46mm threads for a filter and a big ugly lens cap. Only problem is it's missing the battery compartment door... smh. Currently have a quarter jammed in there to hold the batteries in and close the circuit.
Hahhahahaahahahahahahahahahaha I usually don't put my masterpiece song 'not sponsored' in front of these older film camera reviews... But now I'm going to.
I got one of these on a cross country road trip in New Mexico after my Lomo LC-A broke. Only cost me maybe $40 and I love it. They have gone up in price considerably but I don't think I'd ever sell mine.
I really enjoyed this video. I recently found a Nikon One Touch and another film point and shoot in my grandparents garage and I think both will create interesting photos. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much!! Since recording this vid, I actually let a friend of mine borrow. She took it all over the UK. I'm real excited to see what she came up with. Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers.
I used to have to trick one of my old cameras the exact same way. I had to turn the flash on on my Sony DSC-P50, and I had to cover it so it would go with a faster shutter speed. I had to do it with concerts to get decent pictures on that thing. It also worked with some Nikon bridge camera I had, it was the L310 I think
Does this camera need film to turn on? I bought one and it does nothing with new batteries (and no film). I don't want to waste a roll of film if the camera is dead.
I actually gave mine to a friend so I can't check for you at the moment- if I recall though I don't think you can advance the shutter without film in it though (not 100% though, sorry)
Yes to the loud and conspicuous frame advancement, but there is a feature you missed, which is that the frame will not advance until your finger releases from the button, so you can take a photo and as long as you hold your finger down, there is no frame advancement to blow up your spot.
Sweet Lou Photography I have a spare if you'd want to test it out. Also a rollei 35s and Nikon f3. People seem to like those. And a random gem, the Kodak lllc with some lenses.

One Touch totally sponsored this. ;)

Probably the best video about this exact camera model. Thank you lol
Really appreciate that. Thank you so much
You can trick the camera into shooting how you want by aiming the lens at something light or dark.

Just bought this cam !!! You sold me
I just got this camera yesterday and I’m absolutely loving it. Thanks for this fun and amazing review!!! 🔥
Best of luck with it!!
Take the pic release the shutter after you walk away.
Yes to the loud and conspicuous frame advancement, but there is a feature you missed, which is that the frame will not advance until your finger releases from the button, so you can take a photo and as long as you hold your finger down, there is no frame advancement to blow up your spot.

Did you want to review a olympus xa? (the first one not the annoying zone focusing ones!)
I would review any camera, provided I find it cheap haha
