Ilford Sprite 35-II Camera Black

Product Information

Last is the flaring. The lens is pretty good overall, but the flaring can be a big distraction in some images. Unless you like that look (which it can definitely be used for some cool effects), then you will always have to take photos with the sun outside of the frame. Shooting with the sun behind you is how you get the best light on your subjects anyways, so I don’t see it as too big of a issue. Final thoughts: Who is The Kodak Ektar H35 camera for? 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... 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. 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. 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.

The lens is not the sharpest, and the shutter speed is slow enough that it will make blurry images if you’re moving, but that’s actually a benefit for this camera. Because The Kodak Ektar H35 isn’t as sharp, it makes skin look flawless, and people look younger. If aesthetics are more important to you, then the Ilford Sprite 35-II is definitely the way to go. The camera does look and feel better than the Harman Reusable Camera. But the Harman Reusable Camera is a better deal out of the box, as it comes with 2 rolls of film and a battery for the same price as the Sprite. A fixed shutter speed and single element f9 fixed-focus wide-angle lens that’s perfect for daytime photography.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. The next big topic with this camera is the image quality. And I have to say, despite using an optical-grade acrylic plastic lens (same as glasses), this camera really gives the other half frame cameras a run for their money.

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 After loading the camera with 200 or 400-speed 35mm film, all you have to do is aim the camera and press the shutter. It’s extremely lightweight and compact, weighing just 122 grams - ideal for carrying around to document your life! The Ilford Sprite 35-II is a wonderful entry-level film camera from Ilford! It continues the 'Sprite' heritage from the 1960s original model, and will meet the needs of people experimenting with 35mm film and looking for a camera that’s ‘no frills’ simple. 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.And although it has automatic capture settings, it features a manual film advance winding lever that allows you to rewind each exposure. The camera boasts a 31mm, single-element F9 fixed-focus wide-angle lens, allowing you to capture stunningly-focused daylight scenes. Its fixed shutter speed of 1/120s ensures vibrant, sharp images and also comes with a built-in flash.

This places it as one of the cheapest new cameras you can buy and if you can live with pink even cheaper than some single use cameras. Class rival I’ve been using the Ektar H35 for the last month now, and here’s what I found when shooting this camera. This is not a camera for pixel peepers or people who care more about the quality of images than the memories captured in them. There are no technical barriers, no settings to mess with, nothing to distract you from what you're doing, and nothing to disguise ( or make up for) any weaknesses, creatively speaking.

ILFORD Sprite 35-II Film Camera Key Features:

Taylor hits the nail right on the head in her review video. At first ( or even second) glance, the Ilford Sprite 35mm-II doesn’t seem quite impressive, and that’s because it’s not. Not in the traditional sense anyway. 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?

This article isn't a comparison piece between the Ilford and Kodak cameras, as these options are similar in quality, price, and use case. Instead, think of this editorial as an overview of the best choice in the film camera game of 2023.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. The Kodak Ektar H35 is one of the most fun reusable cameras to hit the film photography scene this year. The Ektar H35 is built for all photographers who love capturing moments on film, but wish they were able to eek out just a couple extra frames per roll. If you are new to analogue photography, or someone who has always favoured 35 mm film, the Ilford Sprite 35-II is an affordable and fun little film camera. In the 60s, the original Sprite 35 was ‘the' go-to model due to its cheap price and easy-use. The ILFORD Sprite 35-II continues this heritage with a fixed shutter speed (1/120s) with a 31mm, single element f9 fixed-focus wide-angle lens; perfect for well-focused daylight scenes. This 35 mm film camera also comes with a built-in flash with a 15-second recycle time for night shooting. The ILFORD Sprite 35-II Film Camera is a re-usable, solid step up from your disposable camera. It's stylish, smart, and great for those that wish to capture a couple of snaps without the fuss/expense of going digital. That means this camera is fantastic for architecture and street photography — there won’t be any strange warping around the edges. In the 1960s, few cameras were easier to use and more affordable than the Sprite 35. Regardless of shutter speed, aperture, or exposure meter, all you had to do was insert a film, press the shutter button and pull the film lever. This camera was attractive to users who wanted to take snapshots without worrying about the correct settings. Due to the limited number of recordings, it was common at the time to be patient and focus on the essentials.
