New firmware (2.51) available for. Z50.

An Agfa Isolette 120 roll film camera that my older brother me for Christmas in 1957 when he came home on leave from Germany. Completely manual, great to learn on.

Magazines are still good bathroom reading material, much more convenient than a PC/laptop

I recently purchased a very nice F100. I learned that it has the capability of interfacing with a computer utilizing a program referred to as Photo Secretary. It looks as if this program can store EXIF info as well as custom setting data among other things. It appears that this program is no...

New firmware for Z50, ver 2.50

A lot of good info there, let’s hope it finds a new home

Thanks for the info, I guess I was wondering if this will be a progressive issue.
