Chronology of cameras Boots
Boots is a pharmacy chain with a history of more than a century. Quickly, pharmacists with the necessary chemistry skills for photo preparation and development started selling everything related to photography, including cameras.
It was only in the mid-20th century that the photographic activity gained independence at Boots. As Boots is not a manufacturer, it simply placed its name on cameras from other brands. This practice is well known.
The Japanese origin is certain, as it is clearly stated in the catalog!
The name "Amica" is significant as it belongs to a Japanese brand from the 1960s, Amica International. They produced cameras based on the Taron platform.
This is a Taron Auto EL 18.
