Chronology of cameras Sears
Sears is to the United States what Manufrance was to France.
Following the same principle, a significant portion of what Sears sold was manufactured by other brands. The name "Tower" frequently appears in product names. This can be explained by comparing the brand's logo and historical photos of the company. The logo depicts the tower that dominated the Sears buildings in Chicago. In 1969, Sears decided to consolidate all its Chicago employees in a single building and had the tallest skyscraper in the United States (and the world at the time) constructed, known as the Sears Tower, which has since been renamed the Willis Tower.
Il est bien encombrant pour un 127. L'adjonction du flash l'allonge horizontalement.
Ici le flash est muni d'une protection évitant les projections lors de la combustion de l'ampoule.
Une cellule, qui augmente la hauteur de l'appareil, active une aiguille qui se déplace dans le viseur. Un curseur situé devant l'appareil, près de la fenêtre de la cellule, déplace une échelle graduée 16, 32, 40, 64, 80, 100, 125. La répartition des nombres est pour le moins étrange.
Le réglage de la distance de mise au point se fait par rotation de l'objectif.
Cet appareil est une variante du Camflash 127.
Deux piles, vraisemblablement des AA, alimentent cet appareil, qui posé sur un buffet en formica passerait presque pour un transistor.
