Chronology of cameras Ilford 

From 1955, Ilford marketed several series of cameras whose name evokes sport: Sportman, Sporti and Super Sporti. All models in these series were manufactured by Dacora. It is likely that these successive series correspond to changes in models at Dacora. The authorship of these cameras is hardly hidden, because the lenses clearly mention the brand of origin.

The Super Sporti is an improvement of the Sporti it replaces.

This new model now has a pose, in addition to the snapshot at 1/50.

The eyelet diaphragm is modified to allow for three positions: Sunny, Light cloud and Dull/flash. The third position is obtained with the same diaphragm as Light cloud, but the speed is reduced by half, that to say 1/25.

Security against double exposures is introduced.

__________

Ilford has been around since 1879, they are a British manufacturer of sensitive surfaces and laboratory chemicals. This firm also sold cameras under its own brand, manufactured by Kershaw, Dacora, Wirgin, etc. These are mostly simple cameras. Until the 1960s, the brand carried by the cameras was Ilford, but following the merger of Ilford (United Kingdom) and Lumière (France) by Ciba (Switzerland), the brand became CIL (acronym formed by the first letter of the name of each company).
