Contents
Sporti
Fixed shutter speed, with flash synch, and two apertures - "Sunny" and "Cloudy/Flash". The 120 film 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.
Sporti 4
The Sporti 4 was introduced in 1960 and took 4x4cm images on 127 film. The body was mostly plastic, with a metal cap around the lens barrel - and had slightly cleaner lines than the original Sporti. It had a fixed-focus lens with "Sunny" and "Cloudy" apertures.
Sporti 6
In 1963, the Sporti 6 was introduced with an updated look, a two-speed shutter (1/50 & 1/100) and a choice of three apertures, f8,f11,f16. The body was plastic, with a metal face plate around the viewfinder and lens barrel. Beside the viewfinder was a panel suggesting a light meter, but which actually just contained the Ilford nameplate and a red indicator when winding was required.
The flash sync PC socket was behind the speed selector ring, which had a cut-out which lined up with the socket when set to the flash sync speed of 1/50, thus ensuring the correct speed was selected when the flash was connected.
