To Pete: Yes I found out that it was a division of Argus, but it seems to be a blind end there.

To Winfried: I have owned the worlds most highend cameras and I tell you the Mansfield (which is a Mamiya) is not a rather low-end camera just because it is simple, when you lift it you will fell at once that this is a camera more than crap !!!!

And mass-market camera no way - then I would have found someone who knew just a little bit of the camera.

Hello Winfried. I have goooled a lot of times and I have some of my knowledge from the website you mention - see my information above. I have not been able to find more than about 10 more or less usable records on the internet (the are other search-machines than google !) and no website have any accurate detail of the camera ! My only option now is to find help in a forum and hope someone knows something about the Mansfield EYE-TRONIC camera.

Hello

I remember that for many years ago I read an article about 58 mm lenses, what stroke me was that the 58 mm was particlarly made to match the human eye in magnification ! Later lens-makers made 60 mm lens and even to day some make 60 mm lenses. I can not to day remember which article it was - I have been through thousands since that, but I do remember just that about our human eye and the 58 mm. So in a way I have allways been disapointed to all the camera-manufactures that they started to make 50 mm lens and not 58 mm. In 24x36 mm - format I certainly can not use a 50 mm, but a 58 or 60 mm is ok and maybe just because it just right to the human eye !

Hello.

Can anyone help me with finding out anything about this camera - Mansfield EYE-TRONIC, I know it is a Mamiya

(EE Merit/Super Merit ?) sold in the US as a Mansfield EYE-TRONIC and even as a Honeywell Electric Eye, in the

UK it was sold as a Vulcan. The year it was made was about 1962. I have not been able to find one exactly the

same as mine on pictures on the internet, there is only a Mansfield EYE-TRONIC model with the exposure-counter

close to the flash-shoe, on my model of Mansfield EYE-TRONIC the exposure-counter is out to the front end of the

camera in the front-left corner, and the counter window is narrow and one side is curved.

I am very hapy to own it, it is in very good working order, apeture, shutter and even the expusure.meter is fully

working, all over it still nearly looks like new. Thank you.

Best wishes

(the newer model) and Telyt 350/4,8 - every answer counts.
