KODAK EKTAR H35N Half Frame Film Camera, 35mm, Reusable, Focus-Free, Bulb Function, Built-in Star Filter, Coated Improved Lens (Film & AAA Battery are not Included) (Striped Black)

Recevied product, just got wrong colour and few scratches on the box

i LOVE this little film camera. I wanted a half-frame camera with a strong enough flash so that I could take photos at night. The camera is very small and light weight! It fits snug in my pockets and my hand. I got 68 exposures on my first roll. A lot more cost efficient than a full frame camera. The flash loads in seconds after taking a photo. It's great for night shots of people standing a few meters away. I got my film developed and scanned at Orms

Lovely beater film camera for those looking for something they can travel with (it fits in my pocket most of the time) or those just getting into film photography

The fact that you can take more pictures is the best part of this camera. As for the clarity, the focus could be better. The shutter speed could also be better but If you are looking for "retro aesthetic" then you pretty much have it. Although it's just not as clear as I would have hoped. I have attached a photo I took and as you can see it doesn't really focus on anything at a distance. Best use is up close photos. And it struggle in dim environments, the flash is not good but it works for up close photos (1-3 metres away from subject is best)

I bought an Ektar H35N for a light, cheap point & shoot travel camera. The idea purposes of this camera are: documenting daily life, travel, learning photography, and playing with different film types. (I’ve shot 35mm film professionally and as a hobby since the 1980s so I’ve used SLRs and other types of film cameras.) Pluses about the H35N: The camera’s half-frame format is just fine for casual photography, for sharing photos online, and can make decent 4x6 prints. You get twice the number of shots per roll (72 photos on a roll of 36, for example) so good value there. The camera is lightweight, yet the shutter button, film housing, and rewind crank feel solid, and it looks like a camera, unlike other options in this segment which resemble toys or science fair experiments. The glass lens element helps to keep the image sharp-ish across the entire frame, unlike all-plastic lenses which tend to have softer focus away from the center of an image. It accepts 30.5mm filters so you can add a ND filter for using 800 ASA film in daylight or a yellow filter for B&W film. The flash is good indoors and as a fill-in for shooting pictures in dim light. The bulb setting and tripod mount let you take long-exposure night shots or use low-speed film. The controls are very simple and viewfinder works OK. Minuses: The shutter speed is a little slow, so you have to be careful to hold it steady. This camera is best paired with 200 ASA film for travel photography. If you’re learning film, then this camera will help/force you to attend to the basics: how different film types affect your photos, paying attention to light, and thinking more about composition over fiddling with camera settings. Load it up with some cheap 200 ASA film and go make some pictures!
