Certainly on topic. For a while, Sears sold an SLR that was a clone of the Asahi Spotmatic . I'm pretty sure that it was made by Asahi in Japan before it became comfortable marketing cameras here under its own name. The Spotmatic was also sold in the US under the Honeywell brand name. My father used a Sears Spotty for quite a while, and I bought a used Honeywell Spotmatic to back up the original Asahi Spotmatic that I had purchased new in the Far East in 1966.
