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 of this camera is evident, as it is clearly stated in the catalog!

The name "Amica" that appears in the model's name belongs to a Japanese brand from the 1960s, Amica International. Amica International manufactured cameras based on the Taron platform, and in this case, it is a Taron Auto EL 28.
