The Sears Easi-Load FC 600 is a rebadged version of a Ricoh 126 C Automatic camera for Kodapak cartridges. It was produced in Japan by Ricoh for the Sears & Roebuck warehouses in the U.S.A. as part of Sears' Easi-Load camera series for cartridge film. Unlike most other cameras of its class, it has a quite mighty lens, a Rikenon 1:2.8/40mm, a Copal single speed shutter of 1/125 of a second, and a robust metal body. It has CdS meter controlled exposure and a spring motor for film advance. Exposure is fully automatic, with a selenium cell driven trap-needle mechanism setting the aperture size (f/2.8-f/22). Zone focusing. Distance symbols and aperture settings are visible in the bright frame viewfinder. The front cover together with the lens barrel comes off easily after removing three screws (they are bigger than other screws) from the film chambers. The lens barrel has no connection to the lens inside, except a stud coupling to the focusing ring. The camera was introduced in 1969 along with the release of the Ricoh 126 C Automatic. Two versions of the camera were released. One with a ring around the lens and the other with an eye.
