Ilford Sprite 35-II, silver/teal
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
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 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 camera has a fixed shutter speed (1/120 s) with a 31 mm, 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.
Users can load the Sprite 35-II with their favorite film, whether its colour negative or black and white, allowing them to capture quick snapshots or moody monochrome scenes. The camera has a manual film advance winding lever to move through each exposure and rewind the roll when the film is finished.
It’s extremely lightweight and compact, weighing just 122 grams, with dimensions of 119 mm (W) × 67 mm (H) × 44 mm (D).

1. Why is it worth choosing a film camera?
Film cameras are appealing because of their unique aesthetic and traditional photography experience. They offer an authentic image creation process that many photographers appreciate. These cameras use film, which provides a special, organic image quality and encourages a focus on each shot. Additionally, film cameras promote slower photography, allowing you to enjoy each moment instead of rushing. It’s a great choice for those who value creativity, want to explore the art of photography, and seek a unique, analog experience.
2. How to properly care for and store film in film cameras?
Film rolls in film cameras require special care. Handle the film carefully before inserting or removing it to avoid dust and dirt contamination. Store the film in a dry, cool place, avoiding direct sunlight and moisture. If the film is not used for an extended period, make sure it is placed in a special container or sealed box to prevent damage from environmental factors. Periodically check the film for any bends or damage to ensure it remains in good condition. Note that film has a limited lifespan, so proper care will ensure it lasts longer.
