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.

Iloca Ia with Finor leather case

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.
