Chronology of cameras Dacora
The brand Dacora was a presence in the photography market from 1946 to the early 1970s. The company's name changed several times, but it is simpler to focus on the brand name. Its founder, Bernhard Dangelmaier, initially named the company DAngelmaier & Co.
The first products manufactured were bakelite box cameras simply named Daco. These were soon replaced by models that were almost identical but made of metal.
Subsequently, Dacora produced a small series of horizontal folding cameras in the 6x6 format, which had moderate success, and another series of rigid cameras with retractable lenses, also in the 6x6 format, called Digna.
It was in 1960 that the first 35mm models appeared in France. McKeown mentions 1958, but the delay in their arrival in France may be attributed to import restrictions. The Dignette and Super Dignette models achieved success and were sold in large quantities.
Throughout the 1960s, the catalog expanded further with new models using Rapid film or the 126 cartridge format introduced by Kodak.
In 1972, the company changed ownership one last time before disappearing.
Dacora produced numerous camera models under both the Dacora brand and other brands such as Hanimex, CIL, Ilford, and more.
The name "Instacora" is a combination of "INSTAmatic" and "DaCORA." Clearly, Dacora positioned itself in the market for 126 format cameras, a market already well occupied by Kodak and Agfa.
Instacora cameras produced 28 x 28 mm negatives. Depending on the model, they had a base for Flashcubes or a reflector for AG-1 bulbs. The models also differed in terms of focus distance adjustment and the type of lens.
There were only a few models in this series, but they came in various decorative variants. Instacora cameras could be found in the catalogs of major distributors.
