The Electric Eye 127 was introduced in 1958 by Bell & Howell.
The 1938 Kodak Super Six-20 was the first camera to offer photocell-controlled autoexposure, but fewer than 730 were ever sold. Bell & Howell's Electric Eye 127 brought autoexposure to the popular snapshooter market, in a whimsically-styled cast-metal body.
A selenium photocell adjusted the two-bladed diaphragm in response to the scene brightness. Twelve 4x4cm exposures could be taken per roll of 127 rollfilm.
