Ilford Pixie 35-II Reusable Film Camera

Overview

The Ilford Pixie 35-II is a flexible, manual-control 35mm film camera suitable for beginners and experienced photographers alike. It features a fixed-focus 32mm Gakken lens with three selectable aperture settings—f/6.4, f/16, and f/100—offering creative control in a compact, simple-to-use form. The shutter provides a standard 1/100 sec speed along with a Bulb mode for long exposures. For even more experimentation, the removable lens allows the camera to function as a pinhole camera. An included half-frame adapter enables vertical shooting and doubles the number of exposures per roll.

Hands-On Manual Control

The Pixie 35-II offers fully manual operation, giving users direct control over aperture selection and focus through a zone indicator system. A dedicated Bulb mode button makes long-exposure photography simple and intuitive. The camera uses a classic manual winding knob for advancing film and a rewinding knob when a roll is completed. A film counter, set to “S” during loading, helps track the number of exposures taken.
