The Instamatic was a series of inexpensive, easy-to-load 126 and 110 cameras made by Kodak beginning in 1963. During its heyday, the range was so ubiquitous that the Instamatic name is still frequently used to refer to any inexpensive point-and-shoot camera.
In Japan, 120 film was normally called "Brownie film" (?????????; Burōnī firumu) film until about the 1950s, because it was associated with the Brownie camera. Thus the Bronica, named after the film size, is indirectly named after the Brownie.
