In Reply to: Lens for 126 Reflex TLS posted by Bill Feldman on November 17, 2002 at 14:33:06:
It would be 126 Instamatic film which (I believe) is no longer in production. When 126 film was produced there were a few SLR cameras made that accepted the film. I remember Kodak had a model. I don't know which manufacturer made the Sears model, but it may have been the same as the Kodak. The term "reflex" refers to single-lens-reflex. On a reflex camera , when you look through the viewfinder you are actually looking through the lens with images transmitted by mirrors to the finder. "TLS" is actually a term (or trademark) used by the camera marketer. You'll find all kinds of initials on cameras such as, TLS, TL, CLC, TTL, SRT, FT, FTN, EL, LE, EOS, F, X, XE, XG, HTsi, XTsi, XD and so on. So it really doesn't matter. Camera marketers have to ditiguish betwween different models. They can't name them all the same.
