The '''Halina Simplette EE Automatic''' is an autoexposure model for [[126 film]] cartridges made by [[Haking]]. It has a striking appearance due to the trapezoidal [[selenium meter]] cell above the lens, somewhat reminiscent of the [[Argus 260 Automatic]]. The camera uses [[scale focus]]ing and has a socket for [[Flashbulbs#Flashcubes | flashcubes]]. Its date is unclear although 1963–65 is likely, given the trend towards much smaller [[CdS]] cells throughout the mid-1960s.
