Iloca Kamera-Werk operated in Hamburg from 1948 until the mid-1950s, building a range of 35mm viewfinder cameras for the postwar European market. The Ia, circa 1951, carries a Jlitar f/2.9 45mm Tessar-type lens in a Prontor-Junior shutter — the f/2.9 variant is less common than the f/3.5 found on some early Iloca I examples.

135 cartridge film is readily available today. Untested, sold as-is. Chrome top plate clean with minor age-appropriate wear. Shutter speeds and self-timer not verified.

The original two-piece Finor leather case comes with the camera — both halves present, straps worn. Hamburg, circa 1951. Iloca didn't survive the decade.
Condition: Untested, sold as-is. Clean with minor age-appropriate wear. Included: Camera with Jlitar f/2.9 45mm lens and original two-piece Finor leather case. Price: $32 CAD. Pickup preferred; shipping available.
The f/2.9 Jlitar variant is the less common configuration on this model.
