Camera

The Ilford Sportsman is a soundly made and attractively styled 35 mm.
miniature camera which has been designed for quick, easy operation. It
will take first-class pictures in both colour and black-and-white.

Before taking any pictures with your Ilford Sportsman, be sure to read
this instruction book carefully and to practise using the camera without
film. In this way, you will quickly learn to use the Sportsman confidently
so that when you eventually load it with film you will be quite certain of
getting good pictures right from the stars.

Every Ilford Sportsman is carefully constructed and thoroughly tested,
and is guaranteed for one year from the date of purchase. So don't forget
to complete the guarantee form and post it to Ilford Limited, Ilford,
Essex, without delay.

The Ilford Sportsman, which takes 35 mm. film in standard cassettes and
gives a picture size of 24 x 36 mm., is fitted with a rapid film wind lever (5).
The camera is equipped with a three-element anastigmat lens, having a
focal length of 45 mm. and a maximum aperture of f/3.5. The lens is coated
and gives excellent results on both colour film and black-and-white film.

operations; the film is advanced, the shutter is set and the exposure
counter is adjusted to show the number of exposures still available. The
film wind and the shutter release are interlocked so that double exposures
