Some popular brands to consider are Printfile, Kenro and Clearfile. But there are many others. Can I still use my old film it’s out of date?

Helen Hooker is a musician and photographer based in the east of England. A switch to digital photography in 2004 reinvigorated a dormant interest in photography, providing an immersive hobby and a distraction from the demands of life as a busy professional musician. A ten year long 365 project followed and towards the end of this period Helen began exploring the possibilities of film photography once again. A rather basic folding camera, certainly compared to earlier Kershaw folders such as the Peregrine, but nevertheless decently made. It looked rather cheap with a top cover of dull aluminium and plastic covering with a woven texture. Probably its most distinguishing feature was the shutter release: a small latch on the side of the lens base. It was produced around 1955 and made 12 6x6cm photos on 120 rollfilm.

Faces, People and Places: The Cameras of Ilford Ltd., 1899 to 2005. ISBN 0-9545342-1-2 The Agiflex is somewhat notorious for its unreliable shutter, apparently the speeds weren't very accurate, certainly on the first model. Mine indeed doesn't work very well, but interestingly it runs fine when removed from the body. It turns out there is only very little room inside the body and as the shutter cloth is quite old it is not as flexible as it used to be, and rubs against the frame. Perhaps it even rubs with new clothes, which may explain the unreliable and too slow speeds. Ilford sold a number of cameras under its own name but made for it by other manufacturers, starting with a box camera in 1902, but most were made in the 1940s and 50s. The Ilford Witness was a rangefinder camera with interchangeable lenses announced in 1947, but not released until 1953 because of manufacturing difficulties; there is an example shown in Science Museum Collections. [36] In the meantime, the simpler Advocate series 1 was released in 1949 [37] and series 2 in 1952. A pre-release Advocate series 1 camera was given to Princess Elizabeth in 1948; it was unique in having an ivory enamel finish. [38] It was stolen, but later recovered when it was sent to be repaired. Also released in 1949 was the Craftsman, a twin-lens reflex (TLR) which took 120 or 620 film. Then 1951 saw the Prentice folding camera which also took 120 film. The fact that gelatin dry plates could be manufactured in advance in a factory meant that photographers no longer needed to coat the plates themselves or travel with a portable darkroom. This contributed to the democratisation of photography and helped make it a popular pastime for a much wider audience.

Ciba built a new plant in Marly, Switzerland, to coat Cibachrome, renamed Ilfochrome in 1992 after Ciba withdrew use of its name. The old Tellko factory nearby in the centre of Fribourg was used as the finishing department.

In 1901, it took the name of the town to become Ilford Limited, which was disputed by the local council. The matter was settled by placing a comma between the word Ilford and Limited, giving Ilford, Limited; the comma was finally removed in 1951. [3]

The title is meant a little tongue in cheek, Britain was never really known for its great camera industry, unless perhaps in the very early days, but it nevertheless had some well-respected brands and included some great cameras. Most of mine do not belong to this category (they tend to be pricey, even, or especially, here in the UK), but rather are part of the cheap and cheerful models characterising most of British post-war camera production. Due to their generally smaller production numbers, higher-quality British cameras such as the Ilford Advocate, the Ensign Multi, the Corfield Periflex range, let alone Reid and Wrayflex models, are equally highly-priced as highly-prized these days. We do not recommend any safelight for use with our standard films as they are sensitive to all the colours of light that we can see.

By 1878, George Eastman had invented a machine to coat dry plates and, with local inventor Henry Strong, set up the Eastman Dry Plate Company in 1881. In 1884, Eastman changed the name to Eastman Dry Plate and Film Company when he began experimenting with paper and film bases. ‘Kodak’ was first registered as a trademark in 1888, and the Eastman Kodak Company or ‘Kodak’ was founded in 1892. The first manufacturing plant outside the US was set up in Harrow in 1891. The Ensign Multex was a for the time very well-specified rangefinder camera for 127 rollfilm (3x4 cm) introduced in 1935. It featured a focal plane shutter with speeds from 1s down to 1/1000s. It had a telescopic lens (like on screw mount Leicas) and a closest focus of nearly 0.5m. It had several clever features including a pressure plate that was released during film winding (a similar feature was found on the Voigtlander Vitessa). The rangefinder window was magnified, so one had to frame the shot with the separate viewfinder. A variety of lenses was available, most commonly an Ensign Multar Anastigmat f/3.5 but also a Ross Express f/2.9 or a Tessar f/2.8. This was a simple little viewfinder camera which was fairly heavy despite its small size. Its shape was obviously inspired by the screwmount Leicas but the comparison ends there. A later version with larger viewfinder was called the Halina 35X Super. While Ilford doesn’t advertise this, the aperture does get larger when you turn on the flash. That means you can get a brighter exposure by turning on the flash — even if you’re taking landscape photos.
