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.
