The Agfa Silette is a beautifully built German 35mm film camera from the 1950s, known for its clean design, smooth leaf shutter, and sharp Agfa Color-Agnar lens. This example features a built-in selenium meter with an automatic (“A”) exposure setting, offering a simple and intuitive shooting experience without batteries.

The meter is responsive to changes in light, with the match-dot in the viewfinder becoming brighter or dimmer as lighting conditions change. This behaviour is correct and normal for this system. Meter accuracy is not guaranteed due to age, but responsiveness confirms the meter is active and functioning.

Cosmetically, this camera presents very well and would appeal equally to a shooter, collector, or display-focused buyer.
