Meet the latest offering from Ilford, the Ilford Pixie 35-II film camera, a more sophisticated successor of the famous Sprite 35mm-II. The Pixie 35-II is designed for both eco-conscious analogue enthusiasts looking to dive into the world of film and seasoned photographers looking for an affordable, experimental camera. It’s lightweight, stylish build makes it an easy pocket-sized camera to travel with, and here’s what makes it stand out from normal point-and-shoot film cameras: The secret pinhole mode is easily accessible by removing the 32mm fixed-focus Gakken lens, making it the perfect experimental film camera. Unlike fixed-aperture competitors, the Pixie 35-II offers three selectable settings: f/6.4, f/16, and f/100. Equipped with a Bulb mode and a standard tripod mount, the camera is capable of long-exposure photography. The inclusion of a half-frame adapter is a major selling point. It allows users to switch between standard 35mm and half-frame formats, maximizing a standard roll from 36 exposures to 72 exposures.
