Ilford Sprite 35-II Camera Black

Product Information

After about a month and a bit in my bag, the camera has gotten a few small scuffs and scratches on the silver finish on top. But the textured surface on the bottom half of the camera has remained free of any and all imperfections from use. 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.

After loading the camera with 200 or 400-speed 35mm film, all you have to do is aim the camera and press the shutter. Ilford presents a bundle consisting of Ilford media and the new retro camera: “ILFORD Sprite 35-II.” The reusable 35mm compact film camera pays homage to the original “ILFORD Sprite 35” from the 1960s. Note: Half-frame photos have a lower resolution than a full 35mm image and are ultimately less sharp. However, this trade-off is worth it for those who love film photography's colors and nostalgic feel. ILFORD revives the popular retro film camera from 1964 and introduces the new »ILFORD Sprite 35-II« Everybody seems to be confused about who really wants this camera, some are left head-scratching... I am here to clear the air. I was born in '89, and grew up around throw away cameras (Kodak). With that said, I don't know anything about film. I am starting to grasp some photography terminology, but it's a lot to learn. Anyways, I want to get that throw away camera feeling with 4x6 prints and it seems that this camera will help me achieve that. I simply do not need all the bells and whistles when taking photos...The sharpest results will occur between 1-3 meters, and in the center of the frame. The edges do lose a little detail compared with the center. Tiffany & Co caught on Fujifilm XTra 400 on the Kodak Ektar H35. Distortion The simple, fuss-free operation of the camera makes it the perfect choice for anyone who wants to have fun capturing candid photos of their friends and family. I capture so many more smiles on a camera like this than any other in my kit. And that includes digital, where I can shoot 10 frames per second. It’s extremely lightweight and compact, weighing just 122 grams - ideal for carrying around to document your life! Right out of the box, Kodak Gold and Ultramax will capture your memories with that amazing and flatting warm glow. There’s one small scuff (beside the flash) from having this camera bouncing around in my camera bag. Kodak Ektar H35 Build quality

That means this camera is fantastic for architecture and street photography — there won’t be any strange warping around the edges. 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 Overall, I’m quite happy with the build quality of this camera. Even after a couple drops, it’s still in fully working condition. It feels like a camera that I can trust to bring on an airplane, camping, hiking, or anywhere else. According to Ilford, It takes 15 seconds for the flash to charge for a full shot. In practice, I’ve had the flash recycle time take anywhere from 3 to 20 seconds depending on how cold it is outside, and how much juice is left in the battery. What’s the difference between the Ilford Sprite 35-II and the Harman Reusable Camera?Shooting analog is a unique and rewarding experience, and in this article, we compare two newly manufactured and highly affordable film cameras — the Kodak EKTAR H35 Half-Frame and the Ilford Sprite 35-II.

I’ve used these rechargeable batteries, which will last longer than 8 months in the Ilford Sprite 35-II on a single charge. In older models, the flash will make a whining sound when first charging (newer models don’t make this sound), and lights up a red LED on top of the camera when it is ready to fire.

When shooting directly into the sun, the Kodak Ektar H35 camera does create some significant flaring around the edges of the frame. In this image, it actually has a pretty cool effect, but to get to most out of it, you will have to have your subject in the center of the frame. People’s faces glow in an extremely flattering way. It’s still more than sharp enough to capture expressions, eyes, hair, textures, clothing. But it doesn’t make acne, fly away hairs, or wrinkles stand out — especially when the flash is turned on.Ilford recommends using ISO 200 and 400 films with the Ilford Sprite 35-II. ISO 200 is great for full sun, while ISO 400 film works for every scenario, including when taking snapshots at sunset and sunrise, or when taking images at night with the flash on.

While Ilford doesn’t advertise this, the aperture does get larger when you turn on the flash. That means you can get a brighter exposure by turning on the flash — even if you’re taking landscape photos. Features a manual film advance winding lever that moves through each exposure & rewinds the roll when finished. The only times where the camera won’t work is when you want to get close to your subject, or when you want to take group selfies. The camera doesn’t focus closer than 1 meter, or 3.3 feet, meaning anything closer than that will be blurry. This camera looks amazing using color films like Kodak Gold, Ultramax. Their warm, saturated feel looks stunning in this camera, capturing perfect skin tones that look gorgeous at sunsets. ISO 400 film will give you more exposure latitude in the shadows and is preferable when shooting later in the day, or with flash at night.The Kodak Ektar H35 Half Frame camera is for anyone who loves using disposable cameras, but hates the environmental impact of them. This camera has all of the glory those cameras do, but it’s also reusable, and gets twice as many frames per roll of film. Here is the translated press release: Spring promotion: New camera and inkjet photo paper in a bundle The camera has a fixed shutter speed (1/120s) with a 31mm, single element f/9 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 some awesome half-frame cameras out there, like the Yashica Samurai, or even the underrated Olympus Pen F which has interchangeable lenses. But the Kodak Ektar H35 camera holds up surprisingly well in most cases. In contrast, the Ilford Sprite 35mm is a conventional film camera producing 36 frames with any 35mm roll. I used this camera nearly every day last year as my daily shooter to capture family road trips, my dog, and sunny skate sessions, and it held up beautifully. Again, the file images are more prominent in resolution than those from the Kodak H35 camera, but unless you're a colossal pixel peeper — the visual difference is relatively minimal.
