Chronology of cameras Zeiss Ikon
This is a camera initially manufactured by Bilora for Zeiss Ikon, aiming to establish a presence in the market for new cameras in the 126 format. The Color Citar lens comes from Voigtländer. At a certain point, Zeiss Ikon integrated the production into its own factory, with Zeiss Ikon's production exceeding that of Bilora.
It is a camera with a light meter, automatically adjusting the aperture based on the film sensitivity and available light. The sensitivity is automatically recognized by the camera on the film cartridge. The meter is active only when a film is inside the camera and the shutter has been cocked (with the film advancing).
Bilora manufactured a series of cameras in the new 126 format for Zeiss Ikon, as the major manufacturer was not ready to launch its own models. After Zeiss Ikon integrated the production of 126 cameras into its own factories, Bilora marketed under its own brand cameras that were virtually identical to the outsourced Zeiss Ikon models.
These cameras have a rectangular shape, made of plastic, with an off-center viewfinder at one end and a slightly offset lens relative to the center of the camera.
