Henry Gambino indicates that around 1962, Argus offered a slightly-revised version of the Mamiya Automatic 35 EEF[1] which was badged Argus Auto 35mm.
This is a very chunky model with an extremely distinctive appearance due to its front flash reflector (for AG-1 flashbulbs) built into the body alongside the lens. As this version includes a rangefinder it is more similar to the Sears Tower 41 than to Mamiya's own version.
This camera cannot have sold in any significant numbers: there are no images found online and there is no entry for it in McKeown.[2]
