TAC Deluxe

[akptc]

I ended up with a TAC Deluxe rangefinder kit as part of a 55/1.4 Super Takumar purchase. I know next to nothing of the TAC rd (Trans-American Import Export Co.) Could someone point me to any info sources about them?

Thanks a bunch.

Wow, talk about an obscure camera 🙂 I found this picture of the TAC camera on KEH.COM.

According to McKeowns catalogue (1996) The TAC deluxe was manufactured by the Yamato Koki Kogyo Co. Ltd. The camera price 1996: 45-60$.
McKeown calls the TAC a typical Yamato camera, "badge-engineered" for the Trans-American Import Export Co.
