The Roc is a simple viewfinder camera for 36 mm square exposures on 127 film, made by IDAM in about 1951.[1] Some examples of the camera have no exposure controls at all (as in the top picture here); others have an 'I' and 'B' shutter, selected with the knob to the side of the lens in the lower example. Similarly, examples of the camera may have a tripod bush and strap lugs, or not. In either case, the camera has the wide window in the top, housing an extinction meter. The body of the camera is of cast metal, its two halves held together with hinged clips of plated metal. It has a sliding metal cover over the red window.
An almost identical camera was sold as the Belco.
