Bilora Bella
This is a work in progress.
Bella 3c (?) |
| Bella 44-1 |
The Bella was a line of cheap but attractive 120 and 127 film cameras made by Bilora in Germany. The Bellas went through several revisions over the life of the name. The body was based on alloy castings, with added leather-effect covering. Each was styled a little more like a 35mm camera than a roll film one, and they were available in a range of colours.
The 44 models took twelve 4x4cm images on 127 film; the 46 models made 6x4cm frames on 127, and the 66 models took 6x6 photos on 120 film.
The Bella 44 was also sold by Ansco, rebadged as the Ansco Lancer.
