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.
Sur la page du catalogue Sears de 1977, voisinent deux appareils de fabrication Mamiya. L'un s'appelle le 1000 MX et l'autre le 1000 MXB, le second est plus cher que le premier. Hormis le fait qu'il ait un objectif plus lumineux, la seule différence est que le second est noir, alors que le capot du premier est chromé. Ceci nous ramène à une époque où la couleur noire faisait plus 'photographe professionnel'. Cette image s'achetait parfois quelques centaines de francs.
L'objectif s'appelle Sears Sekor, il s'agit donc bien d'un objectif Mamiya.
Les deux appareils sont des Mamiya MSX 1000.
