The 264 Instant Load is a continuation of the stout metal autoexposure cameras for 126 film cartridges offered by Argus in the 1960s, which began with the 260 Automatic. In Argomania, Henry Gambino attributes this model to Mamiya.[1]

Its arrival is announced in a 1966 magazine blurb which mentions a bright-line viewfinder and self-rotating flashcubes as notable features[2] (where the 260 had used AG-1 flashbulbs).
