Kodak offerred 40+ models of 126 Instamatics at various times. Fifteen or so 
of these had some kind of exposure meter. The Kodak Instamatic Reflex was 
made in Germany by Kodak AG and patterned on the 35mm Retina Reflexes. It had 
interchangeable (leaf shutter) lenses. A fantastic (and pricey) reference for 
obselete cameras is The Price Guide to Antique and Classic Cameras by James 
McKeown.
900+ pages of abbreviated history, illustrations and descriptions.
