Ilford Sprite 35-II Camera red/black

There are many good reasons why some love the authentic look and feel of photos shot on film: there's also the discipline of working with just 24 or 36 shots, and the anticipation of having a roll developed. And then there's the desire to slow down from the relentless pace of digital technology and instant gratification.

In the 1960s, there were few cameras as easy to use and as affordable as the Sprite 35. Forget shutter speeds, aperture or light meters - just load a roll of film, press the shutter button and pull 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, meeting 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) with a 31mm wide-angle lens with f9 fixed focus, perfect for most well-focused scenes in daylight, and also has a built-in flash with a 15-second recycle time for night shots.

Users can load the Sprite 35-II with their favorite film, whether color negative or black and white, to capture quick snapshots or atmospheric black and white scenes. The camera has a manual film advance lever that allows you to move through each exposure and rewind the roll when the film is finished.
