Características

The Ilford Sprite was a basic 127 film camera, introduced by Ilford in 1962. It was made by Agilux, as a rebadged Colt 44. The body is two plastic mouldings held together by sliding metal catches at either end.

The Ilford Sprite was released in 1962 to promote Ilford's film range, much as Kodak sold their Brownie range. It's stylings are reminicent of many of the Brownie cameras from the late 50's early 60's - particularly the Brownie Holiday, and it supportes two apertures, labeled "colour"(note UK spelling!) and "b&w". Inside we find the label "Always use no 127 Ilford films. Ilfocolor [USA spelling now!] for colour [UK! make up their minds] prints, Selochrome Pan for black and white prints".

Like most of Ilfords camera offerings, the sprite is simply a rebadged version of something else - in this case the Agilux Colt 44.

The sprite uses the 4x4 12/roll format, and came in a rather nasty plastic ever-ready case.

Especificações

The Sprite 127 is of very simple grey plastic construction, with a single snapshot shutter speed and a single element plastic meniscus lens with 2 apertures, adjustable via a sliding lever below the lens. The apertures are probably around f16 (for faster speed monochrome film) and f11 (for slower colour film). The sliding lever is correspondingly marked 'Colour' & 'B & W'. The camera provided 12 square negatives 4x4cm on 127 roll film. The film is wound on manually, using the top mounted knob, and centred to each new picture area by aligning the appropriate number in the rear red window. It sold for £1.3s.6d (£1 .18p) (price extracted from Andy Holliman's information).

The longitudinal film path is curved, as can be seen in the right hand picture above. This both provides a pleasantly curved shape to the camera body while also providing a means of 'correcting' curvature of field from the simple lens, in one dimension at least.

Características

Coronet Camera Co. Birmingham, England.
Coronet Camera Co. 1926-1946
Coronet Ltd. 1946-1967
Standard Cameras Ltd. c1931-1955
This company was formed c1926 by F.W.Pettifer and manufactured a large number of cheap box and folding cameras until c1967. Many of its cameras were distributed via premium schemes or mail order catalogues. Most of its pre-war box cameras and post 1945 plastic molded cameras appear with different nameplates and lens panel stylings. The company linked up with Tiranty of Paris after WMII to produce cameras and avoid French import restrictions. These cameras usually have 'Made in France' and French instructions on controls and include the Rapide, Le Polo, Weekend and Fildia.

Throughout its life the firm produced various Coronet accessories, flash units, closeup filters and viewers and its own Coronet film in 120 and 127 sizes. Close links between Coronet, Standard Cameras Ltd. and Conway cameras exist with molds and body parts being interchanged. Over 50 different Coronets exist.

Made in the mid to late 50's in the UK, this is a Coronet 4...4 camera. It is one of a series of cameras from coronet that all looked similar, and are listed in catalogues as being made of bakelite.
I am not sure it is genuine bakelite despite catalogue listings, but it is a thick black bakelite type plastic, and may well be the real thing. Is a pretty featrureless simple camera for 4 X 4 exposures on 127 film. It has a simple everset shutter, and a meniscus lens. It has nice contrasting light grey knobs, and the shutter release has a sliding locking mechanism.
This camera is quite pleasantly shaped, and makes a great display peice. If it had been a better camera, it would have been a folding camera with bellows, but in these cheaply made Coronets the bellows has been replaced by a bakelite tube, giving the camera its odd shape.
It has nice vertical "ribbing " on the tube, and horizontal "ribbing" on the front of the camera body. The top and bottom of the body, and the viewfinder tube are smooth black shiny bakelite. The removeable back is crinkle "Japan" finish metal.
The side clasps are brushed chrome with black enamel contrasting panels. The brished chrome front panel with red lettering and gemetric patern holes to allow the contrasting black bakelite to show through complete the picture.
It is quite a pretty camera. A really nice peice for the shelf!

Black bakerlite eye level camera with metal back. Takes 12 exposures on 120 film. No flash facility.

Moulded thermosetting plastic, inexpensive and simple camera. To all intents and purposes, a box camera with a more interesting shape, although in fairness to box cameras - some were fully adjustable. Initially I tended to dislike these types of camera, but nowadays I've warmed to them. When I think of the countless millions of family moments this camera, and others like it, must have recorded - I think it's earned a place for all time in the museum of the "humble and unloved". A friend remembers having one new in 1958, and it is this fact which forms the basis of the date for this camera. The Coronet Camera Co. operated out of Birmingham and concentrated upon the mass market, they are probably best known for their coloured Coronet Midget range of cameras that have, inexplicably, become spectacularly collectable.

Agilux Agiflash 44 (1959-1964)

Agilux Agiflash 44 (1959-1964)

#99

Esta fotografia é do exemplar que possuo

Características

he Agiflash 44 was made in Croydon, England by the Agilux company from 1959-64. It succeeded the Bakelite Agiflash, and was initially made of black plastic with alloy pressings. It had a built-in flash bulb holder powered by a 22.5v battery in the base with a small flip-up cover. Opening this a small separate reflector was held in place by the tension of the cover spring. Later models had a dark grey plastic body with the top pressing replaced by a light grey plastic moulding with a larger flash reflector.

Images were 4x4cm on 127 film, with a lever advance. A small lever above the lens selects between two apertures, labelled "Colour" and "B-W".

The later plastic versions of this camera were also sold rebadged as Ilford Imp. There are also examples labelled in French.

he Agiflash 44 camera was manufactured by Agilux Ltd of Croydon, England from approximately 1959 to 1964. Constructed of black or Grey Bakelite plastic and with a metal faceplate and metal top cover. The grey colored models were manufactured after 1960. This camera was capable of capturing eight 4 x 6.5 exposures on number 127 roll film. It featured a film setting for B&W or colored film, a synchronized flash with a covered socket on the top of the camera to accept a no. 5 bulb.

AGI (Aeronautical and General Instruments Co. of Croydon, England), a maker of instruments for military purposes, was founded in 1915. In 1936 it was based in Croydon. It made a military aerial reflex camera which resembled the Reflex Korelle. After the war British imports of optical goods were limited so that it was an attractive opportunity for AGI to found Agilux Ltd. in 1946 (or 1947) as a subsidiary to make cameras for the civilian market. Among the first products was a civilian successor of AGI'S reflex camera, the Agiflex. As well as their own brand, Agilux made cameras for others, including Ilford. Most of AGI's products were slightly unusual in that AGI made all of the components, including the lenses and shutters. The company abandoned general camera production in the early 1960s (AGI filed patents for shutters in the 1980s[1]) AGI (now Aeronautical & General Instruments Ltd. in Poole, Dorset) still manufactures a wide range of instruments and systems, for the defence and civilian markets. These include a gun-barrel inspection camera.[2] The parent company AGI Holdings was bought by private equity firm J.F. Lehmann in 2014.[3]

Olympus OM-10 (1979)

Olympus OM-10 (1979)

#95

Esta fotografia é do exemplar que possuo.

Características

The Olympus OM system was released by Olympus in 1972. The Olympus OM bodies were divided in a high range and a middle range. The top range were the one digit models with a hyphen: OM-1/2/3/4. The two digit models were the middle range. All these bodies could take Olympus OM lenses (which means all potentially have DOF preview functionality, as this was standard on most OM Lenses).

Following the introduction of autofocus into the market, Olympus released two motor-driven bodies: the OM707 and the OM101. Later yet, a re-branded Cosina model was released, known as the OM2000.

Fonte: camerapedia


Especificações

The OM10 was the first consumer OM series body. Launched in 1979 it accepted the full line of OM lenses and most of the OM accessories for a lower price. The lower price was reflected in the construction of this camera and the features available, however, it was still a very competent performer and it reflected the elegant lines established by the compact OM-1 and 2 designs. Early production runs of the OM10 have known malfunction issues with electronics, metering, and shutter magnets. Olympus later changed the shutter to a 'Type II' design to correct the latter problem.

In its standard configuration the OM10 offered aperture priority automatic exposure, simple and accurate enough for a consumer camera in most lighting situations. It also offered exposure compensation for more complicated lighting situations and for more advanced users. Selection dial upon the top allowed for selection of Aperture Priority, B and Manual adapter, The small plug-in manual adaptor was available as an accessory to enable manual control of shutter speed, if no Manual Adapter was plugged in and the camera switch set to Manual Adapter then the camera shutter speed was set to fixed 1/60 for flash work.

While not well known to consumers, the focusing screen for the OM10 is indeed interchangeable, though not as easily as the OM-1. It shares the same focusing screen as the OM-1, but the extra protruding tab needs to be cut off as the OM10 doesn't have a placeholder for it.

The OM10 can accept all the lenses of the OM system.

The finder screen is fixed, as well as the back. It can accept the winder but not the motor drive. It existed in chrome and in black finish.
