About this deal

The average aperture of disposable cameras is f/11 or f/10. However, in low light, a smaller number corresponds to more light seen by the camera, which means a better quality image. Film type These plastic cameras have straightforward controls. It’s worth keeping a few things in mind when using them. So, whether you are using a Reusable or Disposable here are some tips to get the best images out of them: How To Get The Best From Your Reusable Film Camera. In theory, the lens has a focus range from about 5 feet out to infinity — pretty much like most box cameras, and consistent with an aperture around f/11. I didn’t find it particularly sharp in any instance, but things in the neighborhood of 10 to 15 feet away seemed sharpest. Infinity, for some reason, was sometimes the least sharp. and it wasn’t even consistent from frame to frame. The sharpness is inconsistently mediocre, in other words. Well, it looks better than most. The clear polycarbonate on the front protects the paper wrapper and keeps the camera looking good even when it’s covered in gaffer tape and dog saliva. The “flap” on the bottom connects all three pieces of the shell together, so you’ll have to pry it twice to un-snap the front, and then the center, housing portions. Once the clear face is removed, the battery is hidden behind the flap and can be pried out with a small screwdriver.

Despite being the most common and cheapest of the 8, overall, the Kodak FunSaver performed best. Its 800 iso color negative film has great exposure latitude making it much more versatile – it could shoot in open sunlight without blowing out the highlights but also did very well in low light. Its grain is very subtle and has very pleasant warm tones. All 8 cameras have plastic optics but the Kodak FunSave seemed to be sharper than the rest. If you’re looking for cheap disposable cameras that produce great results, this might be the best choice. See image comparisons below The shutter button is easy to trigger, and the little film advance wheel has enough gear reduction to chew through a frame in a single stroke, if you roll your thumb just a little while advancing. Beyond that, disposable cameras make a fun addition to a significant event such as a wedding or party. Wedding photographers and those planning events often buy single-use cameras in bulk. They place one of each of the guest tables or fill a big glass bowl with them at the bar. That way, guests have a fun activity that adds to the happy and fun vibe of the event – especially once the drinks start flowing. Plus, you can avoid hiring a photographer as your guests take all the shots. For artistic creativity, the Lomography 35mm camera offers playful filters for shots. The tech isn’t exactly advanced, but it works brilliantly: the front of the camera has three plastic rectangles in yellow, magenta, and cyan attached that slip over the camera, and the resulting photos come with a wash of your chosen filter, plus a touch of graininess. It comes loaded with plenty of exposures, too: 36, compared to the standard 27 you get with most single-use cameras. There’s also a built-in flash, but take note that it works best for outdoor pictures, as indoor ones skew a little dark.

HP5 is also available in 35mm, 120, 4×5 and bulk rolls. Have a look at the other available Ilford Films.

Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge and insights. Your work is making a positive impact on photography enthusiasts and those looking to capture special moments in a unique way. I look forward to following your future content and continuing to learn from your expertise. Since 1976, we have developed literally millions of rolls of film with experienced lab professionals and film enthusiasts. In addition, the images on the film were off in comparison to the viewfinder — shorter vertically than I anticipated, and longer horizontally (assuming the camera is held in the “landscape” orientation). Not by a whole lot, but it would help to give your compositions a little vertical breathing room in the camera. On the plus side, for as small as it is, the viewfinder is still big enough and bright enough that framing is fairly easy.

Note the exposed portions to the right of the frame, and the dark lines indicating scraped-off emulsion. (Daniel J. Schneider)Nominally rated at ISO 400. Ilford HP5 Plus film will give you negatives with outstanding sharpness and fine grain. Great results under all lighting conditions. There is a tiny gap in the paper label on the front, at the bottom, below the lens. Through this gap you can see the copper end of the AA battery inside (though it’s not a Duracell). It shouldn’t be a big deal. A vintage neon liquor store sign on Colorado Boulevard in Denver. Even the R60 red filter couldn’t help the contrast much on this very overcast day. (Daniel J. Schneider) Rather than just a normal review (because, let’s be honest, how much can I say about a single-use camera?), I decided to make this as detailed a guide as I could. When it comes to disposable cameras, there’s no right or wrong situation. Although these tools were gems in the past, they are nonetheless useful today. Even professional photographers occasionally use disposable cameras to give their work a vintage feel. Possible pitfalls: In low light, the photos can come out very grainy. The color filter interface [on the flash] is clumsy. Fifteen years ago, I used to shoot with the Holga camera, also from Lomo, that has a [similar] color flash and the quality on those was way higher and fun to use.

Shutter speeds vary from camera to camera. If you use a higher shutter speed, such as 1/150 second, you can freeze subjects. When the shutter speed is slow, like 1/60 second, more light enters the camera, helping low-light scenarios. Aperture Ilford HP5 Plus 400 Film is a high speed, medium contrast film. It is especially suitable for action and press photography. Also an excellent choice for general purpose photography. As someone who is interested in photography and exploring different mediums, your content has been a valuable resource. Your commitment to helping readers make informed choices is evident in the thoroughness of your research and the clarity of your explanations. You can use disposable cameras as mini time capsules, or participate in camera swaps. There’s a huge community out there that loves these things. They even made Canny Cameras’ 10 Fixed Focus Wonders list. Single-use or disposable cameras are not just for those interested in testing the film photography waters. While they are great for students, teens, and people who don’t take photography seriously, there are many other uses.You wouldn't think there'd be new releases in disposable cameras, but Kodak just released this camera in Europe a few years ago, and now it's made its way to the States. The camera comes with 39 exposures—about a dozen more than you'll get with a standard digital camera—and it features the 800 ISO film that makes Kodak's much-loved FunSaver model a hit. Note that it's a daylight camera—there's no flash—so shoot inside at your own risk. However, it's perfect for capturing clear, crisp images at outdoor weddings and parties.

Each disposable camera has a set amount of pictures (exposures) you can take with it. The standard is 27, but some come with as many as 36. If you’re heading out for a long day and anticipate lots of photos being taken, it might be better to invest in a disposable camera with more exposures so you can avoid taking a second camera with you.

Shadow patterns in a Denver alleyway. Another test of the red filter’s effect on the exposure, and another proof of the overexposure I expected. (Daniel J. Schneider) Basic specs

What type of film do you have?

A roll of Ilford HP5 contains a total of 36 exposures, so each roll will contain up to 36 shots. This is true for both 35mm and 120 formats, though the size of the image produced by each shot may be different depending on which format you are using. For example, with 35mm film a single frame produces an image that is 24 mm x 36 mm in size while 120 film frames produce an image that is 6 cm x 6 cm or larger depending on the camera used. We love cameras of all types, as well as the trippy, new films. The Darkroom… Lots of experience and lots of love!
