The Daci Royal was the more versatile version of the Dacora Daci, a popular box camera for making 6 x 6cm exposures on type 120 film. Its lens was superior to that of the Daci and other box cameras since it was focusable from 1.5 metres to infinity. It had an aperture of 1:9 and a quite small built-in reflecting type finder. Its shutter was switchable from instant mode (M for moment) to bulb mode (Z for time). Black, red, tan, and green colors were offered. It was sold with a beautiful leather box. It was made since ca. 1948 by Dacora.
