About this deal

Film photography will always hold a special place in my heart. I learned photography on the precipice of film losing its battle with digital. My preference was always the darkroom. Even with all the advancements today’s cameras possess, digital feels flat. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching companies like Kodak and Ilford keep the film industry alive. The Kodak Ektar H35 is the company’s latest effort to keep analog thriving. Both this and VUWS clones has a very similar set up. I’ve mentioned very similar parts and then there’s the lens. Both have exactly the same set up of a 22mm 2 element lens made of optical grade acrylic. The elements are separated by the shutter and both use a curved film plate to improve focus. The h35 is ½ stop wider at f/9.5 v f/11 of the Reto UWS and rated slightly slower 1/00 v 1/125.

The camera comes with a wrist strap and a cloth pouch. You’ll still need to buy 135 (a.k.a. 35-millimeter) film and one AAA battery. The box also comes with an instruction card with a QR code that leads to an online manual. We got ours from Film Folk,where it retails for P2,800.

Kodak Ektar H35 Half Frame Camera Review: Out-Of-The-Box Fun

Using the Camera with Portra 160 only just illuminated adequately about 1-2 m for the film sensitivity Kodak Ektar H35. 2022 Final Thoughts On the Kodak Ektar H35 Shooting into the sun can create a unique lens flare. This lens flare comes out circular. Some photographers can use this to their advantage. But as a whole, in photography, you don’t want to shoot directly into the sun. An example of lens flare Low-Light Photography The flash not only helped me freeze the bird in motion. It also added the right amount of light to just about capture the bird. The lens is interesting, in that it provides a fairly wide angle of view (which makes me think of the time I examined the shifting “standard” focal length, and how it may be widening as a result of the proliferation of smart phone photography). In fairness, images made with the right ISO film and in the right conditions (for example, bright sunshine, well-lit places, etc.) can look traditionally nice, well-exposed, and pretty. For the other times, the lo-fi images that it makes will certainly appeal to an entire generation of photo nerds who are accustomed to perfect digital photography. It could be for professionals who spend their working hours photographing. Or it could be for teens who no longer attach value to their smartphone pictures.A comparison of half-frame 35mm (left and right) with standard 35mm (middle).

Like all half-frame cameras, the camera turns a normal 36mm x 24mm frame into two portrait-format frames of 18mm x 24mm. The price point is perfect for gifting to a friend or loved one. And it’s also a great way to create memories together. With the extra depth on the release, I never mistakingly pressed the shutter or mishandled it when it wasn’t in use. And it never went off while in my camera bag. The camera works best on illuminated subjects What’s in the Box? The only way to avoid this is to be careful when shooting into the sun. I suspect it is because the sun is right on the edge of the frame. So it may be best to ensure the sun doesn’t sit directly on either side of the frame.

I know this because I looked into producing my own film cameras before these came out and they were exactly the same). 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 only times where the camera won’t work is when you want to get close to your subject, or when you want to take group selfies. The camera doesn’t focus closer than 1 meter, or 3.3 feet, meaning anything closer than that will be blurry. But let’s get into the results of taking pictures with the Kodak Ektar H35. I will dissect the camera’s performance so you can fully understand how it shoots in different environments and how to get the best results! Daytime Shooting We want to highlight two special features of the Kodak Ektar H35. It’s a half frame camera that uses double-exposure film. And it’s easy to use! A Huge Money Saver With Double-Exposure FilmRecently the shot counter on mine died part way through a roll. It was an adventure guessing when I'd get to the end and I was winding very gently for fear of snapping the film. I guess I'm down to tally-marks in a notebook from here on out which is a little annoying but not a deal breaker. It does speak to the long term reliability
