The Sprite 35-II 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 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.

Our Review
Ilford Sprite 35-II Reusable 35mm Film Camera — a pocket-sized way to shoot film on the road
The gist: For travelers curious about analog, this reusable point-and-shoot swaps disposables for something you can reload trip after trip without adding real weight to your bag.
- Ultralight: around 112 grams, small enough for a jacket pocket alongside a spare roll or two of film.
- Zero-fuss controls: a fixed 1/120s shutter speed and a fixed-focus 31mm f9 lens tuned for daylight scenes mean no settings to fumble with mid-hike.
- Built-in flash: a 15-second recycle time, handy for a dim hostel common room or an evening market.
- Reusable, not disposable: reload with any standard 35mm roll instead of buying a new single-use camera on every leg of a trip.
Per The Darkroom's review, "it's a step up from disposable cameras and being re-usable, it won't create extra waste" — a fair summary of where it sits versus true single-use cameras.
Best for: travelers who want a grab-and-shoot film camera for daylight street and vacation photos without carrying a full analog kit. Skip it if: you want manual exposure control or plan to shoot indoors/low light without flash — the fixed 1/120s shutter and f9 lens need bright conditions. Runs ~$36 — check the current price before buying.
