New acquisition. It has been a while since I last indulged, so today I gave in and bought an old camera. An Ilford Sportsman, with f2.8/45mm Dacora dignar lens in a Pronto shutter. Nothing earth-shaking photographically, but it should be reasonably competant. I already have one, perhaps an earlier model, which showed potential but is now out of action. This example looked clean and came with a decent carry case and original instructions. That booklet has a fly leaf stuck to the front anouncing that the camera has an f2.8 lens instead of an f3.5 lens, with which earlier models had been fitted. The viewfinder has bright line frames for compositional guidance.
