Agfa · Germany · 1962–1965 (3 years) · 135 film

The Selecta M by Agfa was a 35mm camera produced from 1962 to 1965, representing the company's entry into the popular 35mm market during the early 1960s. As a consumer-level camera, it featured Agfa's characteristic German engineering in a more affordable package than their premium models, with straightforward controls and functionality aimed at amateur photographers. The camera likely incorporated standard features of its era, including coupled rangefinder or viewfinder focusing, shutter speeds from bulb to 1/500th second, and interchangeable lenses typical of 35mm systems of the period. While not revolutionary, the Selecta M demonstrated Agfa's commitment to making quality photography accessible to a broader market during a time when 35mm photography was rapidly gaining popularity worldwide.
