Catalogue information
The 'Dignette' camera models from Dacora were no unknown 35mm cameras in the 1960s. But just a little more famous - and also more popular - were the same cameras under the model name 'Sportsman' from Ilford, which were also made by Dacora. This Dacora model 'dignette S-L' is equipped with a built-in - but uncoupled - Selenium light meter. Dacora did not actually make complete cameras, but only the camera housings and built lenses from Steinheil (in this one a Cassar 2.8 / 45 mm) and light meters from Bewi or Gossen (in this one a Bewi). Dacora also assembled various shutters in his cameras. This 'Dignette S-L' has a Prontor 250 S shutter with speeds of 1 / 30-1 / 60-1 / 125-1 / 250 sec. and B. The large clear viewfinder has a yellow-green colored mirror coating that is very useful when making self-portraits because when you hold the camera out an arm's length in front of you, you will see yourself mirrored in the viewfinder.
