The Iloca Stereo II camera was made by Iloca from 1951 to 1953.
Iloca changed the format of the pictures to the Realist (5p) standard 23×24mm stereo pairs from the European version used in the Iloca Stereo I and Ia. This simplified the film loading and allowed 30 images per roll.
This camera had two Jilitar 3.5cm f/3.5 lenses separated ~70mm and accepted series V filters and accessories. It was fitted with Prontor-S shutters (B,1-300). The Newton optical finder was in an unusual location, below the taking lenses, and is very small for today's standards.
The camera has double-exposure prevention built in, but a small lever allows for intentional double exposures. Film advance an rewind levers are on top of the camera, and shutter must be cocked before shooting.
It was also sold by Montgomery Ward as the Photrix Stereo.[1]
Iloca Stereo IIa
An improved version, was named IIa and produced from 1954. It brought mostly cosmetic changes to the II and used the same lenses, shutter and accessories.
This camera was sold as Tower 83 in the USA with Isco-Gottingen Westar 35/3.5mm lenses
