THE ILOCA SERIES

The lloca camera series, known in the U.S.A. as Realist,
belong to the group of post-war 35 mm. camera designs,
which have survived the flood of miniature cameras placed
fon the market, many of which had to disappear again after
a short-lived existence.

The reason for this is the fact that the Iloca cameras are
mechanically well made, optically reliable, delightfully easy
to handle and almost foolproof.

With a basic working knowledge of photography and the
ability to manipulate the loca correctly, one can hardly
avoid getting good results. The lloca Guide has been
designed to offer both.

The Camera

The lloca is a miniature camera taking 35 mm. film in
standard daylight cassettes holding up to 36 exposures
I< If in, (2436 mm.) The all-metal body is plastic or
grained leather covered and the metal parts are satin
chrome finished. The lens and shutter are rigidly fixed to
the camera body.

The overall measurements of the Moca Quick and Rapid
are 4} x3x24 in. (I23%7.8x67 cm.), the weight of the
Hloca Quick is 16} 0z., of lloca Rapid 174-02. The models with
built-in and coupled rangefinder are 2 oz. heavier.

All models have an optical direct vision finder built into
the top of the camera. One turn of the film transport winds
the film ready for the next exposure, at the same time
tensioning the shutter and advancing the automatic film
counter to the next number.

An interlocking device prevents accidental double or blank
exposures. On the other hand intentional double exposures
can be made.
