Seymour's was an American camera retailer, named for Earl F. Seymour, on West 31st St., New York City, and was a leading Exakta distributor.[1] Beginning c.1958 they notably distributed the Optika[2] or Optika IIa, a rebadged version of the Rittreck IIA Japanese 6×9cm SLR.[3] The Optika brand is also found on the Optika Auto 35, rebadged version of the Auto Terra Super, made c.1959–60 as well.
