Note: the Olympus Auto Eye is a different (but contemporaneous) camera.
The FR Auto-Eye II and Auto-Eye I were an announced but surely short-lived effort by Fink-Roselieve to rebadge two Adox Polomat models for US sale. While an FR-printed owners manual exists, and the model II is briefly listed in McKeown's, other traces of either model's existence is skimpy. A trademark conflict with Olympus may be have been a possible factor.
