Another camera that appeared in a box of cameras I have in storage; I only vaguely remember it. I have no idea where I got it, how much I paid, etc. And I never heard of the company.
Amica was a Japanese company. A few of their cameras still seem to be around: this one, a similar model called the 28 with a slower ƒ2.8 lens and the selenium cell around the lens barrel; and a couple of others. They were rebadged in the UK under the name Boots and in the US as Hanimex, and likely various house brands.
This camera is no longer in my collection.
