Ilford Sportsman style 2, 35mm camera, in case, 1959

Description: A beautiful piece of photographic history: a classic Ilford Sportsman (style 2) 35mm viewfinder camera, made in West Germany by Dacora in the late 1950s/early 1960s. This model features a crisp **Dacora Dignar 45mm f/3.5 lens** and a Vario shutter. It comes nestled in its original, tough brown leather ever-ready protective case.

Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The body shows general age-related wear but no major dents or scratches. The leatherette covering is intact. The glass appears clear with no major scratches. The viewfinder is clear enough to frame shots easily. The shutter fires smoothly at different speeds and the aperture blades move freely. Untested with film, but appears working. The original leather case is included. It shows some historic scuffs and character but remains sturdy with intact stitching. Perfect for vintage camera collectors, analogue and Lomography enthusiasts, or as a classic retro display piece!
