Ilford Sprite 35-II

The Sprite 35-II film camera from Ilford is a simple and easy to use film camera for general use. The camera has a wide-angle lens with a fixed focal point, which is perfect for capturing most well-focussed scenes in daylight. The camera also has an in-built flash with a 15 second recycle time for night shots.

The Sprite-II is compatible with 35mm colour negative or black and white film for quick snapshots or atmospheric black and white shots. The camera is easy to use and has a manual film advance lever that allows you to step through each shot and rewind the film when you run out. A fun introduction to analogue photography. There are many good reasons why some people love the authentic look and feel of photos shot on film. For one, there's the discipline of working with only 24 or 36 exposures and the anticipation of developing a roll.

Forget about shutter speeds, aperture or light meters - just load a roll of film, press the shutter release and the film lever. It was an attractive camera for people who wanted to take a few snapshots without having to worry about the right settings. The Ilford Sprite 35-II continues this legacy and fulfils the needs of people experimenting with 35mm film and looking for a simple camera with no frills. It's a step up from disposable cameras, and because it's reusable, there's no extra waste.

The camera has a fixed shutter speed (1/120 sec) and a 31mm wide-angle lens with f9 fixed focus, perfect for most well-focussed scenes in daylight, as well as a built-in flash with a 15-second recycle time for night shots. Users can load the Sprite 35-II with their favourite film, be it a colour negative or black and white film, to capture quick snapshots or atmospheric black and white scenes. The camera has a manual film advance lever that allows you to cycle through each exposure and rewind the roll when the film is finished.
