IILOCA.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/230672323561?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
King,,,,,, http://www.ebay.com/itm/180727305022?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
Anybody used or owned these.
Also looking at a Retinette IIB But it's meter is not working...Is the meter repairable on this camera?
Also a friend is soon giving me a Minolta SLR with 3 lenses...I feel like it is Christmas already.

1) no idea about above cameras
2) Buy a good light meter instead of think about repair, a good external lightmeter is essential for all vintage camera users.

I have an Iloca (different model) but haven't yet used it because the shutter needs some work. Read as: is currently non-functional. Or maybe it's the film advance on that one. I forget.

$20 cameras are fun - $10 for the camera, $10 for postage .
Like Attila said, 50% are going to be broken, but its just $20.
I tell my wife that I could spend that much on beer and cigarettes every couple of days. But I don't, so its cameras.

I spend on the cameras and the beer and cigars...or pipe tobacco.

Getting a few more then call it quits for a while and start shooting the Busch Pressman. Just waiting for some time.

I'm a fan of the King Regula cameras and own two RMs (very similar
to the Cita III model).
One is the scarce version with Zeiss Tessar 50/2.8 and the other is the
very scarce version with Enna 45/1.9
I enjoy both of them and think they are well built, beautiful and fun to shoot.
I hope to add one of the interchangeable lens King Regulas to my collection
soon (IIIC, IIID, Super) |

They do look nice, but I've gone ahead and got a Konica S III. Around 20 bucks total.
