The Sprite 35 had a dedicated separate flashgun, as shown attached in the pictures. The outfit in the top picture was purchased from eBay by David Muggleton for a modest sum complete, boxed and in almost new condition. The flashgun came in a separate box. It would have been purchased as a separate item (see Amateur Photographer magazine 'Lighting & Flash Guide' 1st Nov.1967), priced 18s.9d (94p). It took AG1 type flash bulbs.

The flash would have been kept in your gadget bag (or pocket) until wanted. Synchronisation was achieved when the flashgun was plugged into the camera top.

Various minor styling differences exist, including trim colour and colours used for the text and background to the logo plate (compare the top picture with the picture to the left).

Thanks to Andy Holliman for the following notes and pictures of the Sprite 35's unique flashgun.

The edge of the plastic on the top, on both the viewfinder side and the opposite side, is angled (like a dovetail joint) to allow the flash head to slide onto the top, with the electrical contacts being made and the flash gun held securely in place."

To the left is a rear view of the flashgun, showing the two copper contact strips which engage with the openings alongside the camera's viewfinder.

"The underneath of the flash gun (above right) does not have a cover so you have immediate access to the battery compartment, which takes a 22½ volt battery, when you take the unit off the camera."

To the left is shown the side view of the Sprite 35's dedicated flashgun.
