Found it locally for 2€. Works and clean-ish.
What should I expect from it?
Is it triplet or tessar?
Do I use my last Ilford b&w 120 roll (which costs about 6€ now)

Interesting - I wonder if one could make a non-destructive conversion, after all it was 2 euros and I'm not 100% certain the camera works. (and I do have a very well working Yashicaflex for 120) _________________ (my normal account password still on another computer) |

It seems an extremely simple camera.
The main questions are -
- Fog on inner elements. There very often is, on front cell focus triplets, on one or both sides of the second element.
- Whether the shutter works. Try it. Its a simple Gauthier Pronto (speed to 200) so it should be easy to fix even if stuck. Naptha/lighter fluid should do very well.
- Whether the aperture works - just try and see, thats an easy one.
- Whether the front-cell focus (looks like front cell type) is accurate at infinity. The best way to test is groundglass at film plane. Note - if you have to unstick the shutter or clean fogging you will have to reset infinity anyway.
And you won't find the dreaded light leaks until you actually shoot a roll. _________________ I like Pentax DSLR's, Exaktas, M42 bodies of all kinds, strange and cheap Japanese lenses, and am dabbling in medium format/Speed Graphic work. |

Is this original? I seem to recall the Dacora 1 had a turn- or pull-out entirely from metal. No light leaks in no folding fabric...
It almost looks to me like someone took lens and timer from a folder and molded it to a humble dacora. But both my folder and Dacora 1 are under 23 pounds of junk currently.. |

Yes, it is a twist and bounce metal tube, condition is pretty good, waiting just for some more light fo a 125 film.
can't sleep too long, you'll miss the most of the day
