DACORA Digna

 

Very basic camera for the 6x6 cm format. The lens can be pushed in by means of a very simple telescopic mechanism. Thus the camera is much more comfortable to carry than the very popular box type cameras of the 1940s but less expensive than the folding ones with a bellow.

Production period: 1954 to1959
