Ilford Sprite 35 II Black Silver

Product Information

The camera has a fixed shutter speed (1/120s) with a 31mm, single element f9 fixed-focus wide-angle lens, perfect for capturing most well-focused daylight scenes, and also features a built-in flash with a 15-second recycle time for night time shooting. There are plenty of good reasons why some love the authentic look and feel of film-generated photographs; there’s also the discipline of having only 24 or 36 exposures to work with, and the anticipation of having a roll developed. Then there’s the desire to slow down from the relentless pace of digital technology and instant gratification For that reason, this camera is way better as a film camera than it could ever be as a digital point-and-shoot. Film makes the process easy, thought-free, and fun. Throw in a roll of Kodak Ultramax or Lomo Purple and have fun. ILFORD revives the popular retro film camera from 1964 and introduces the new »ILFORD Sprite 35-II« Features a manual film advance winding lever that moves through each exposure & rewinds the roll when finished.
