Hello all!

I couldn't find this info anywhere, but what are the exact "technical improvements" on 18k vs 18?

Thanks,
Vlad

As far as I know
the diferences are only on color of dial and release and a lilight diferente lens cap being black in 18K and opal in 18.

Luiz,
the difference was not only in color of the lens cap. In 18K the release button was blocked if the lens cap was closed.

I see so very minor stuff, mostly the cable release button.. thank you.. I assume lens stayed the same...

Thank you both!

I have just inspected my cameras and found one more difference: in Agat-18K you can use two spools, in Agat-18 only one.
