My beautiful Bilora Bella camera from 1955

The Bella was a line of cheap but attractive and well-built 120, 127 roll film and 35mm cameras made by Bilora in Germany. The Bellas went through several revisions over the life of the name. The body was based on alloy castings, with added leather-effect covering - in various colour combinations. Each was styled a little more like a 35mm camera than a roll film one. The back was removable for film loading, and most models featured a different, large back catch.

The 44 models took twelve 4x4cm images on 127 film; the 46 models made 6x4cm frames on 127, and the 66 models took 6x6 photos on 120 film.

The Bella 44-1 was also sold by Ansco, rebadged as the Ansco Lancer. Bilora also used the names Roxa, Bonita and Reporter for Bella variants.

Manufacturer: Bilora, Germany
Shutter: B, 1/50, 1/100s
In production: 1953-1966

And I think my new Bella camera is the early model from 1955.

Bilora Stahl-Box camera and music with Severe Illusion

My new beauty - a Stahl-Box camera.

Bilora is a German camera maker - Kürbi & Niggeloh, Radevormwald (founded 1909, with Camera production from 1935)
The Stahl-Box is one of the "boxes" that they build after 1945 (Nachkriegs boxen) 1952.

This box camera was constructed of metal with an art deco etched face plate. It was capable of capturing 6 x 9 cm exposures on no. 120 roll film. It was fitted with a fixed focus Meniscus lens and a simple B & M shutter.

I will try it with a film roll next weekend and post the pictures here later on.

Brownie Starlet and Bilora Boy Luxus

When you selling things at auction it´s impossible not to have a look and bid on other cameras. 
These two beauties have I bid on (cheap) and I want both!

The Brownie Starlet was a simple plastic fixed focus camera made by Kodak starting in 1957. It was one of the very successful "star" series of Brownies.
