Chronology of cameras Concord
Concord manufactured entry-level cameras from 1982 to 2008. At the peak of its production, the company employed up to 7,000 people. The company was founded in 1982 by Jack C. Benun in New Jersey. In 1984, factories in Hong Kong (outsourced to Haking) and Henggang, China (not far from Hong Kong), were working for Concord. In 1991, Concord acquired Keystone Camera. In 1998, the company's headquarters was relocated to Florida.
Concord produced cameras for Kodak until 2004, and the loss of this client proved fatal for the company. The company operated under licenses for brands such as Polaroid (35mm cameras) and Jenoptik, without these brands being involved in the development or control of the manufactured products.
A large number of cameras manufactured by Concord can be found under the generic name Le Clic.
Like most cameras manufactured by or for Concord, this one is a budget model. Entirely made of plastic, it has no adjustments. The batteries only power the flash, as the film movement is entirely manual, and there is no light meter.
Its only uniqueness lies in the film advancement using a rear slider that needs to be activated twice in a row.
The "Japan Optics" label is not a guarantee of quality and simply indicates the origin of the piece of plastic that makes up the lens.
With a very low manufacturing cost, this model is often used for advertising purposes. This particular unit bears the inscription "Altesse Bijoux" on the back.
