Camerz is the brand used for a series of long-roll cameras sold by Photo Control Corporation, of Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. These massive, electrically-driven SLRs were among the most popular "school picture day" cameras in the US, up until the transition to digital.

The typical Camerz setup included a removable 100-foot magazine for 70mm film and a 75-150mm f/4.5 Computar-Camerz lens. This lens strongly resembles early Mamiya's 645-system 75-150 zoom, but with a modified mount and aperture ring, and an additional lever clamped to the zoom ring so it will be accessible when recessed into the Camerz body.
