I received this and another camera (see separate thread) in a trade last summer. I was wondering if any of you happen to have/had one, and your thoughts on it.

no idea about the camera, but the Mamiya Sekor 58mm is a monster of a lens....

It's a rebadged Mamiya Prismat NP, the Tower 32A was sold by Sears

The Tower 37A was also a Mamiya Prismat but limited to 1/500 max shutter and no self timer. Mamiya used its own variation of the Exacta bayonet, like Topcon, with its own semi-auto aperture mechanism.

Mamiya went on to produce the Nikkorex F with the Nikon F mount for Nikon, then sold the factory to Ricoh who produced the Singlex as their first SLR (still with the F mount). Sears sold the Singlex as the SL 11, and then sold the M42 mount Singlex II under the same name…
