Honeywell+Electric+Eye+35R

**Description of camera:**
This camera is a 35mm coupled rangefinder camera manufactured by Mamiya in September, 1962. The meter which controls the auto diaphragm surrounds the lens. The camera was sold both as the Mamiya EE Merit and Super Merit and has a fixed 40mm f/2.8 Mamiya-Kominar lens, an automatic shot counter and four shutter speed settings: 1/30, 1/60, 1/125 and 1/250. This camera has a bright-line viewfinder which shows not only the picture area but also the meter needle, the aperture, three distance symbols for rangefinding and the word //end// to indicate the termination of the film. The Super Merit is distinguishable by a slightly wider, black-framed bezel around the front rangefinder window. Both versions were also marketed by Honeywell as the **Honeywell Electric Eye 35 and 35R**. Yet another version was sold as the **Mansfield Eye-Tronic R**. Mansfield was a division of Argus, Inc.
