Ilford Sprite 35 II Black Silver

Product Information

The Agifold was Agilux's small range of 6x6 medium format folding cameras for 120 rollfilm. It was first introduced in 1948 and this first model was a relatively simple folding camera with one special feature, a small top-view viewfinder. The Agifold II had an additional extinction meter (a special type of lightmeter) as well as uncoupled rangefinder. The Agifold III was mostly a cosmetic upgrade to a much more modern-looking camera. Ciba built a new plant in Marly, Switzerland, to coat Cibachrome, renamed Ilfochrome in 1992 after Ciba withdrew use of its name. The old Tellko factory nearby in the centre of Fribourg was used as the finishing department. Kodak introduced 16mm motion picture cameras, film and projectors in 1923. These were cheaper than the standard 35mm and immediately popular with amateur movie-makers. Last but not least, the MPP Micro Technical Camera for 5x4 inch film. The 'Micro' part of the name feels rather tongue-in-cheek, as the camera wasn't small by any means; in fact it is by far the largest camera in my collection. The Micro Technical camera was a professional large format camera strongly based on the Graflex Pacemaker Speed Graphic, with an impressive repertoire of 'adjustments', the term for lens movements better known as tilt-shift. These adjustments allowed playing with perspective and depth of field, as well as positioning, such as taking a photo ('selfie') in the mirror without the camera being in it. 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.

What are your recommendations for fixing films? In 1997 Ilford Anitec was sold on to Doughty Hanson & Co a British private equity fund manager and subsequently rebranded Ilford Imaging. In 2002 plans were announced to redevelop the original part of the factory (the former Rajar works) for housing to release funds to re-invest in the business, with the houses subsequently built in 2004–07. [8]The Sportsman Auto RF with the lens marked 'Optische Werke Steinheil M�nchen Cassar 1:2.8/45mm'. I have not seen the marking 'Optische Werke' on any other Steinheil lens.

Another simple little camera from Halina, this one from ca. 1962. It was a 120 rollfilm camera with a fairly unique feature of dual format capability, which would make 16 4x4 or 12 6x6 photos on one film. It therefore featured two viewfinder windows. The different formats were achieved by a mask in front of the film gate, so the format could not easily be changed after loading the film. It had a curved film frame like the Coronet Viscount. It had a fixed shutter speed of 1/50s with 3 aperture settings (f/8, f/11 and f/16). Grays of Westminster – News: ILFORD emerges from receivership". www.graysofwestminster.co.uk .

Mixed at film strength, conventional technology films, like ILFORD PLUS films, Kodak Tri-X, Agfa APX 400, etc., should be fixed for 2 to 4 minutes. New technology films, like ILFORD DELTA PROFESSIONAL, Kodak T-Max, Fuji Neopan, etc., should be fixed for 3 to 5 minutes. The wide range of times are given to accommodate the reduced activity of the fixer as it is reused (e.g. fresh fixer: 2 minutes, fixer nearing exhaustion: 4 minutes). The camera was rather large for its frame size, you'd expect it to be 6x6 on 120 film but it is only 3x4 on 127.

The Coronet 6x6 was a 120 rollfilm camera with a rigid body and fixed lens, i.e., it was neither a folding camera nor a collapsible lens camera like most other 120 rollfilm cameras. It was made from hard plastic, presumably bakelite. It had a simple shutter with no aperture or speed setting at all. The instructions suggested using a flash on cloudy days... By 1878, George Eastman had invented a machine to coat dry plates and, with local inventor Henry Strong, set up the Eastman Dry Plate Company in 1881. In 1884, Eastman changed the name to Eastman Dry Plate and Film Company when he began experimenting with paper and film bases. ‘Kodak’ was first registered as a trademark in 1888, and the Eastman Kodak Company or ‘Kodak’ was founded in 1892. The first manufacturing plant outside the US was set up in Harrow in 1891. 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? MPP Micro Technical Camera with Schneider Symmar-S 150mm f/5.6 lens (a standard focal length for this format) in Copal No. 0 shutter. This example is a late Mark VI from around 1955. Note the rangefinder unit to the left of the body. An Ensign Multex model.0 with collapsible Ensign Multar 50mm f/3.5 lens. Although the lens style is quite similar to that of the Leitz Elmar, it has a much larger 43mm thread, and doesn't fit on any other cameras that I know.

Specification

Later on Agilux starting making plastic cameras that were far removed from the earlier high-quality camera. One of these was the Agilux Auto Flash Super 44, introduced around 1959. It had a rather funky and unusual design somewhat reminiscent of some of the plastic Kodak Brownie cameras. It would take 4x4cm photos on 127 film and had a curved film plane like the Coronet Viscount, which made it easier to correct for lens aberations. It had a simple fixed-focus meniscus lens and a single speed shutter but did have an adjustable aperture (to be used with the flash). The camera had a selenium lightmeter and it would show the correct exposure in the viewfinder. Other cheapish cameras made by Agilux were the Agiflash, the Colt 44 and the Agimatic Instamtic camera, not to be confused with the original Agimatic above. Helen Hooker is a musician and photographer based in the east of England. A switch to digital photography in 2004 reinvigorated a dormant interest in photography, providing an immersive hobby and a distraction from the demands of life as a busy professional musician. A ten year long 365 project followed and towards the end of this period Helen began exploring the possibilities of film photography once again. The original Agiflex came with a limited range of speeds of 1/25-1/500s, but a slow speeds were introduced with the Agiflex II using a separate slow speed dial. At some point a larger lens mount was introduced to allow faster lenses such as an f/2.8 standard lens. An adapter was available to mount the older lenses, but the new lenses did not fit on the older models. The mid 1950s Agiflex III had a modernised design with a chrome top plate and viewfinder, again based on the Reflex Korelle, which had gone through a similar redesign.
