Dacora Dignette was the name given to a series of viewfinder cameras from Dacora-Kamerawerk in Reutlingen, Germany. These were part of a broader range of 35mm cameras ultimately including the higher-spec 'super dignette' and 'super dignette electric' including rangefinders and light meters, which the basic Dignette lacked.
The Dignette F was a version with built-in flash reflector. Dignette cameras were also marketed as Ilford Sportsman.
