Bell & Howell 672 XL Focus-Matic

The Bell & Howell 672 XL Focus-Matic is a 35mm camera introduced in 1972, representing a straightforward entry-level offering from the American company more historically known for projectors and specialized equipment. As a basic 135 format camera, it likely featured an automatic exposure system ("Focus-Matic" suggesting some automation), fixed or simple focusing elements, and a functional design aimed at casual photographers seeking an affordable, point-and-shoot experience. Its construction would have been typical for the era's consumer cameras, prioritizing cost-effectiveness over robustness or premium materials.
