It was made by Kodak Ltd. in the UK, Kodak AG in Germany, and Kodak Brasileira Comércio e Indústria Ltda. between September 1971 and 1977. The only adjustment possible is by rotating the lens ring between symbols for Sunny and Cloudy/Flash, which change the shutter speed. Film advance is by a combination thumbwheel with lever attached.
