After a decade of corporate turmoil, the [[Argus]] brand attempted to revive their fortunes with a series of '''Instant Load''' cameras for [[126 film]], the format made hugely popular by Kodak's line of [[Instamatic]]s. A later 1970s series denoted by model designations ending in "X" were able to use [[Magicube]]s, as a small badge on the camera front indicates. These models from Japan also gained a more "mod" styling language than the earlier, boxy, 126 models provided by [[Balda]] in Germany.

Compared to the rudimentary [[Argus Instant Load 146X | 146X]], the '''Flash Sensor 235X''' "signals the user when a  Magicube is necessary, plus [gives] a used flash warning signal."<ref>A [https://www.pacificrimcamera.com/rl/01925/01925.pdf 1974 Argus product list] (pg. 24) gives the details, as contrasted with some form of autoexposure in the [[Argus Electric Eye 345X]] and [[Argus Electronic 355X]].

A name variant of this camera was apparently sold by retailer [[Ifba | Flash]] in France, as the Astral S20 Flash Sensor.<ref>See the [http://www.collection-appareils.fr/x/html/camera-2873-Flash_Astral%20S20.html Astral S20 entry] at [https://www.collection-appareils.fr/carrousel/html/index_eng.php collection-appareils.fr].</ref>
