Film Cameras

Since the revival of the brand in 2017, Polaroid film cameras are some of the best instant film cameras around. Polaroid prints look the business, with lots of latitude and great colour. They’re just as charming as you remember! The range includes the flagship Polaroid OneStep+, which has all the functionality of a classic film camera with flashy modern features like app connectivity. For new users, the Polaroid Now is a simpler and more affordable option, available in loads of colours.

Fujifilm Instax cameras are hugely popular among instant film fanatics. They produce photos that develop ultra-fast – in as little as 90 seconds – and are smaller than Polaroids. Instax prints are great for scrapbooking, fridge magnets, wall art and more. The range includes cameras like the Instax Mini 11, so simple even a child can get the hang of it, or the super-stylish Instax Square SQ1.

Ilford is a name mostly known for producing photographic film. However, they also produce some simple point-and-shoot cameras for those who want to try out 35mm shooting without chancing the second-hand film camera market. The Ilford Sprite 35-II is affordable and easy to use, designed for those who don’t want to fiddle around with settings.

Kodak makes interesting digital instant print cameras. They aren’t film cameras, technically, but function pretty much exactly like a Polaroid or an Instax. Take a picture, wait a few seconds, and a printed version comes out on Kodak’s ZINK paper. Many of the cameras will also save a digital copy to a memory card, so you get the best of both worlds.

Known as the makers of exciting film stocks and lenses with a twist, Lomography also makes film cameras! The Lomography Konstruktor is a camera you construct yourself, with all the latest technology such as a PC socket, bulb setting and lots more. A great project for families and tech-heads alike.

Holga has been a name synonymous with larger 120 medium format film since the 1980s. The Holga 120N film camera has a 60mm f/8 lens, a zone focusing system, an eye-level viewfinder and much, much more. It’s a fantastic tool for serious film shooters.
