Apparently the only camera ever offered by Best Products under the Albinar brand was the MS-2. Aside from the distinctive logotype it appears to be a straight rebadging of a Chinon model, the Chinon CM-5. While its features are somewhat vanilla for an SLR of the era, it accepts all K mount lenses (of many brands); it features a detachable handgrip (with recesses for spare batteries); and its baseplate will accept a power winder (it is unclear if an Albinar-branded winder exists, but the Chinon versions are available).
