RE: Bruce Rosenberger's question on who made the Iloca Stereo?
Bruce..If this Hamburg, Germany outfit hadn't also made a 35mm camera I
might not have found out any more. A collector guide might list the
company full name and address.
Iloca made one of the few European stereos, the famous one being the
French Jules Ricard Verascope F40 imported here as the Busch Verascope.
When stereo waned after 1955, they made an Iloca Automatic and and Iloca
Electric (which was to be imported by Graphlex as the Graphic 35
Electric. I think they expired soon after as did most of the German
camera industry as the Japanese got up to steam. So look for Iloca under
these camera models and perhaps the company name will arise too. (By
1963/64 Iloca had disappeared from my British "Your CAMERA" series that
listed everything current at the time. The cameras named above were
listed in a 1959 "Official 35mm Guide Camera Rating" by Keppler of
Modern/Pop Photo fame.) BobH
