The Capital MX-II 35mm camera with Capital optical auto-fix focus 50mm 1.6 lens was Made in 1986 in Taiwan. The original set came with zip up bag for the camera, lens cover, carry strap, camera instructions, and the camera. Capital cameras were marketed by United States Sales Corporation and only two cameras were found to have the Capital label. These are the MX-II and the KX100 35mm camera (a focus free, point and shoot, plastic camera with a hot shoe). The MX-II Capital is just another name put on these Taiwan cameras with the same design and lenses. All these cameras have a 50mm 1.6 lens with weather icons for aperture settings, the zip-up case, lens cover, and instructions. Cameras like the Lynx PPL 500XL in 1985 and the Ceptre YN 500 in 1990. The Lavec Company (Taiwan) also produce these cheap cameras in the Lavec name like the Lavec LT-002 and the TC-305. The MX-II produces picture results similar the Holga and the Diana but lacks the following. The camera is also weighted inside to give it the feel of a camera with more class.
