The brand of photographic gear, "ASAFLEX", is not well-known. It appeared on several 110 cameras -- and later, on a few Disc cameras. They are simply re-badged cameras from other companies, most notably, HAKING. These cameras appeared under the HAKING label, as well as many others. Those under the ASAFLEX label are particularly confusing because many had very similar names and very similar features -- as you will see below. Most models were available in different colors. Typically, these cameras were very simple and specifics were never listed by the manufacturer.

Strictly bare-bones. It might have had a designation on the box -- but that assumes that it was actually sold with a box!
One of a small percentage of 110 cameras that had a vertical styling -- perhaps trying to make the camera look more substantial -- but unlike most vertically-styled 110 cameras, this one was super-simple. The only control was a button on the front to turn ON the flash -- which popped out on the end. The "MICRO" in the name refers to the size of the flash, I guess, because the camera has nothing to do with close-up photography. It sports a 24mm f5.6 lens -- which is pretty fast for a 110 camera!
Strictly bare-bones, but avialable in different colors. Sold under others labels, of course.
It's the same as the C 10 M, but in a faux-chrome body. Sold under others labels, of course.
Now here's a SURPISE! This model is a true "MINI" because it uses the Minox-style film advance. This not only makes the camera much smaller, but it cocks the shutter -- and protects the viewfinder when closed. It also accepts a flip-flash bar -- which unfortunately defeats the entire purpose of a tiny camera! And who knows where the "80" designation comes from?!?!?!
Here's another SURPISE! This model is bare-bones, but adds a removeable flash cube holder -- for when the light gets low. Available in all black or a black & gray model.
Here's a "horse of a different color" with several different features. This model allows for both ISO 100 and 400 speed film -- selectable with a switch on top. I assume that's what the "2N" refers to in its name. It has a 25mm f11 lens and a shutter speed of 1/70. It also sports a flipping cover that can act as a handle for a steady grip.
Adds an electronic flash with an ON/OFF switch on the top -- and a ready light.
Hard to notice any difference. The top panel is re-arranged somewhat. The two camera controls are repositioned -- a bit -- and the shutter release is now round instead of square.
Again some minor changes to the top -- a small curved grip is added on the left side. If you're paying attention, you might actually notice it. Oh, and the shutter button is now orange.
A small bump is added to the right-side of the top -- which is actually useful. It makes it slightly more difficult to press the shutter release (now, RED) unintentionally.
