Revision as of 11:59, 5 May 2008

The Sporti series were made by Dacora in Germany, for Ilford from around 1959. There were 120 film versions, taking 6x6cm images on 120 film, and 127 film models (e.g. Sporti 4, from 1960) taking 4x4 cm images. Fixed shutter speed, with flash synch, and two apertures - "Sunny" and "Cloudy/Flash". The 120 Sporti was metal-framed, with a little plastic used in the lens barrel; later versions seem to have had a plastic winding knob in place of the metal one. It was almost identical to the Dacora Digna 1. The 127 film Sporti 4 was mostly plastic, with slightly cleaner lines and a fixed-focus lens.

In 1963, the Sporti 6 was introduced with an updated look, a two-speed shutter and a choice of three apertures.
