The Beauty Lightomatic is a series of 35mm rangefinder cameras made by Beauty Camera from 1959 to 1963.
List of versions:
- Beauty Lightomatic or Beauty LM
- Beauty Lightomatic II
- Beauty Lightomatic III
- Beauty Lightmatic SP
It is sometimes said that the "Lightomatic LM" is a name variant of the Lightomatic II, but this is perhaps a mistake. A Beauty LM2 is also reported.[1]
