| Iloca Stereo, second version with front plate with logo image by Cees-Jan De Hoog (Image rights) |
The first Iloca Stereo model, launched around 1950, was visually and functionally very similar to the Iloca I. It actually looks like 2 Iloca I that have been glued together. This camera made images in European standard (7p) of 24x30mm or 7 sprocket holes on 35mm film.
On the early samples (first version) the aperture setting and shutter release of both lenses were coupled, but not the focus distance of the lenses. The second version (known as Ia) added coupled focus and a metal front plate with Iloca Stereo engraved on it (see photo above).
These cameras had twin Prontor shutters (B, 1, 1/2, 1/5, 1/10, 1/25, 1/50, 1/100, 1/300 s) and used Ilitar 45mm/3.5 lenses separated 66.5mm
This camera is relatively simple to operate, but film loading requires practice and it was the weak point on these cameras. The film loading is from the bottom, with a removable take-up spool. The film tip needs to be cut with scissors and extended for another 15-20 sprockets to allow the mechanism of the double exposure prevention to operate properly, then the take up spool and film canister loaded making sure that they go into the camera fully.
The followup model was the Iloca Stereo II in 1951.
