View source for Subita, Dacora 120 and Dacora I

The '''Subita''' is a [[folding camera]] with optical viewfinder for [[120 film]] made by the German manufacturer [[Dacora]]. The '''Dacora 120''' is a slightly more sophisticated version of it, and the '''Dacora I''' is the top model of the line. The basic model, the Subita, is an undemanding item with just two shutter speeds, two apertures, stepless distance selector, a shutter-cocking shutter release lever without double exposure prevention, and a solid opening/unfolding mechanism driven by two powerful springs.
