KODAK EKTAR H35 Half Frame Film Camera, 35mm, Reusable, Focus-Free, Lightweight, Easy-to-Use (Sage) (Film & AAA Battery are not Included)

Product Information

There is one small difference, to put your flash on, with the Ultra F9 you just push a switch on the front somewhere, nothing special right? This important relationship just feels neglected and negated with the H35’s viewfinder. I can forgive a wobbly rewind crank and find the erratic frame spacing somewhat endearing, but the viewfinder is something that I don’t think should have been compromised. Is it a deal-breaker? Not for the low-priced fun that the Ektar H35 offers, but it does drive me mad to see a camera that is so close to a perfect slam dunk instead bounce off the rim. Easy, Out-of-the-Box Fun Also, the Ektar H35 is a bit smaller, which is always a great thing for a compact camera. Not to mention, the nifty little way you can turn the outer part of the lens to turn flash on and off, great little additions. Usability There are some awesome half-frame cameras out there, like the Yashica Samurai, or even the underrated Olympus Pen F which has interchangeable lenses. But the Kodak Ektar H35 camera holds up surprisingly well in most cases.

My recommendation is to be conscious of the ISO you are using. But this won’t save you on every occasion. So the best way to combat this is to use flash when you have the slightest thought it may be too dark. Taken outside a shop in the middle of the day Flash Photography This makes for a pretty nothingy design, it’s not exciting and not much thought has gone into it. I can say that I like some of the colourways though and it definitely looks far better than the Ilford Sprite II, which looks like trash.The pictures above are from the Kodak H35 and despite the fact that it’s a half-frame camera with a pretty nothingy lens, I’d still say these shots are just fine. I wouldn’t say there’s anything particularly bad about them. It’s built to a price, which means that it feels (and is) cheaply made. The entire camera body is ABS plastic, and the lens is acrylic. As a result, using the camera never feels great and the images it makes are similar in quality to those made by a disposable one-time-use camera. This will inevitably disappoint photographers seeking to make traditionally beautiful, high fidelity pictures. Specifications of the Kodak Ektar H35 The Kodak Ektar H35 isn’t necessarily anything special, but when we’re comparing it to the Ultra F9, I think the design is much better. I can tell that they’ve actually had these specifically produced because it resembles the old Kodak Instamatic cameras. This size makes it extremely portable and light. So it’s a perfect companion for any day trip or even just a walk to the shops! Konica would produce the Autoreflexfull frame SLR that offered switching to half frame and the later Bridge AF SLR of the Yashica Samurai series are one of the most technologically advanced half frames.

Ektar H35 Review (A Fun Half Frame Film Camera!) Kodak Ektar H35 Review (A Fun Half Frame Film Camera!)

Because you can’t adjust the shutter speed or aperture for these cameras, you need to be aware of when to use your flash!Considering the camera lens and settings, I recommend ISO 200-400 film. I shot on ISO 200 film and found it struggled on overcast days or in heavy shadows. So an ISO 400 film would do better in these conditions. Shooting analog is a unique and rewarding experience, and in this article, we compare two newly manufactured and highly affordable film cameras — the Kodak EKTAR H35 Half-Frame and the Ilford Sprite 35-II.

Neither of these cameras are going to give you really sharp pictures or really high-quality shots, they’re going to give you basic shots. As they go, I don’t think either of them are bad and despite the fact that the H35 technically have less quality because it’s a half frame, I think there’s no visible difference. Pricing The sharpest results will occur between 1-3 meters, and in the center of the frame. The edges do lose a little detail compared with the center. Tiffany & Co caught on Fujifilm XTra 400 on the Kodak Ektar H35. DistortionWe live in an age of mind-blowing megapixels. But many photographers are drawn to the low-fi aesthetic of point-and-shoot photography. Biggest problem is using up the film. finding 72, although I actually managed 77 shots with mine, worthwhile subjects is a bit tedious. You shouldn’t expect to get the sharpest of images. But this camera does a great job of capturing the feel of a landscape. Because you can’t adjust the shutter speed or aperture, you need to be aware of when to use your flash! It also makes for a compact design. The lens doesn't need to cover as large a surface area as a full-frame camera, after all. The Ektar H35 is small, just 2.4 by 4.3 by 1.5 inches (HWD), and featherweight at 3.5 ounces.

The Ektar H35 features a built-in flash and a small and lightweight body — it weighs 100 grams — that Retopro says has been designed to be handy and easy to use, even for beginners who have minimal experience with film photography. The company says that the half frame design of the camera makes it a great tool to tell a story through two consecutive frames. I love it for portraits and wish I had shot more. A point to remember is that you should use flash if you are not shooting in direct sunlight. This can be hard to remember. But it will make all the difference when shooting pictures of you and your friends. Adding a flash to this film camera was critical. It transformed it from a throw-away camera to a camera you can use daily.You can certainly keep the flash on during the day as well with the Kodak Ektar H35! That’s actually a great way to make sure people’s skin looks best by getting rid of any harsh shadows in the daylight. The flash won’t overexpose the images, since the flash is powered to perfectly expose film between ISO 200 and 400. Overall, I’m quite happy with the build quality of this camera. Even after a couple drops, it’s still in fully working condition. It feels like a camera that I can trust to bring on an airplane, camping, hiking, or anywhere else. If you read my article about the H35, you know I think that the first camera was a home run. So I was expecting a grand slam with the H35N. Regretfully, I have to admit that the H35N turned out to be a fly ball for me. The camera lens is made from an optical grade acrylic. I’m surprised by the results of this plastic lens, especially as it takes up a tiny portion of film!
