The Iloca Rapid B is a fixed lens viewfinder camera made by Iloca from 1954 to about 1958. The name "Rapid" refers to the fast wind lever. First in market as viewfinder camera, later also as rangefinder variant. It is equipped with a Steinheil Cassar S 2.8/50 lens on a Prontor SVS shutter.


This camera was particularly successful in the USA since its rangefinder variant was sold by Sears & Roebuck under the name Tower 51 and the viewfinder camera by Realist as Realist 35B, and by Sears as Tower 50. In the UK, its name was Iloca Quick B.
