The Mamiya 135 EE is an entry-level 35mm compact camera introduced by Mamiya in 1977. Designed as a straightforward, user-friendly point-and-shoot, it features a fixed focal-length lens and automatic exposure control indicated by the "EE" (Electric Eye) designation. Characterized by its simple controls and plastic body, the camera aimed to provide affordable and accessible photography for casual users, embodying the late 1970s trend towards more automated, compact film cameras for the mass market.
