24332 Bilora Bella 44 127 Roll Film Camera

The Bella is a line of cheap but attractive and well-built 120, 127 roll film and 35mm cameras made by Bilora in Germany. The Bellas went through several revisions over the life of the name. The bodies are alloy castings, with added leather-effect covering - in various colour combinations. Each is styled a little more like a 35mm camera than a roll film one. The back is removable for film loading, and most models have a large back catch.

The 44 models make twelve 4x4cm images on 127 film; the 46 models make 6x4cm frames on 127, and the 66 models take 6x6 photos on 120 film.

The Bella 44-1 was also sold by Ansco, rebadged as the Ansco Lancer. Bilora also used the names Roxa, Bonita and Reporter for Bella variants.
