The Ilford Sprite 35-II

A fun and affordable way to jump into analogue photography!

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.

Heritage and Usability

Back in the 1960s, few cameras were easier to use and more affordable than the Sprite 35. Forget shutter speeds, aperture, or light meters—just load a roll of film, hit the shutter button, and press the film lever. It was an attractive camera for people who wanted to capture a few snaps without fussing about the right settings.

The Ilford Sprite 35-II continues that heritage and will meet the needs of people experimenting with 35 mm film and looking for a no-frills camera. It's a step up from disposable cameras, and being reusable, it won't create extra waste.
