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, including the higher-spec 'super dignette' and 'super dignette electric' offering 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.

Later Dignette models
In the later 1960s, the rangefinder models branded Super Dignette changed to a boxier body style, and this also happened with the viewfinder Dignette models.
