Chronology of cameras Tasco
The Tasco Bino/Cam 7800 consists of 7 x 20 binoculars, serving as a viewfinder, and a camera with a Tele-Tasco 1:5.6 112 mm lens.
The camera is positioned between the two lenses. It uses 110 format film.
On the right side, there is a threaded insert for tripod and a plate indicating aperture settings based on film sensitivity and sunlight conditions.
It is known for being used by James Bond (Roger Moore) to spy on a hitman's villa in the movie "For Your Eyes Only" in 1981.
The Tasco 7800 was manufactured by Sun in Japan, where it was called the Orinox.
The Tasco 8000 with interchangeable lenses succeeded this model in 1981.
