Ilford Sprite 35-II Camera Black

Product Information

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. 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. I’ve been using the Ektar H35 for the last month now, and here’s what I found when shooting this camera.

Here is the translated press release: Spring promotion: New camera and inkjet photo paper in a bundleThis 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. speed B&W films, like Ilford HP5, also perform extremely well in this camera when shooting contrasty scenes. B&W films work best when there is a simple composition and good light. So as a general rule, I use color film when taking snapshots of friends, and throw in some HP5 or Kentmere films when out for walks. Which films should I avoid using with the Ilford Sprite 35-II? 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. 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.

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?If you’re not a fan of the flaring, then the best solution is to have the sun behind you. That way your subject will be in the most flattering light, and you’ll be able to create sharper, better images. The camera cannot focus on objects that are closer than 1 meter to the camera. Be sure to not get too close to your subjects. Downsides of the Kodak Ektar Half Frame Camera? The great thing about the Ilford Sprite 35-II is that it comes with a built-in flash. So while you can’t change the settings, you will be able to capture photographs of people at night, or in darker circumstances. 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. 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...

One of the most significant advantages of these cameras is their affordability, especially in comparison to the high cost of film rolls and their chemical processing. 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. 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 That means this camera is fantastic for architecture and street photography — there won’t be any strange warping around the edges. 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.The Ilford Sprite 35-II continues that heritage and will meet the needs of people experimenting with 35mm film and looking for a camera that’s ‘no frills’ simple. It’s a step up from disposable cameras, and being re-usable, it won’t create extra waste. 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. 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? 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.
