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 66.5mm and accepted series V filters and accesories. 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]
