I’ve been using the Ektar H35 for the last month now, and here’s what I found when shooting this camera. 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. Distortion This is not a camera for pixel peepers or people who care more about the quality of images than the memories captured in them. That means this camera is fantastic for architecture and street photography — there won’t be any strange warping around the edges. And although it has automatic capture settings, it features a manual film advance winding lever that allows you to rewind each exposure. The camera boasts a 31mm, single-element F9 fixed-focus wide-angle lens, allowing you to capture stunningly-focused daylight scenes. Its fixed shutter speed of 1/120s ensures vibrant, sharp images and also comes with a built-in flash.

When shooting directly into the sun, the Kodak Ektar H35 camera does create some significant flaring around the edges of the frame. In this image, it actually has a pretty cool effect, but to get to most out of it, you will have to have your subject in the center of the frame. This stunning camera shoots images using just half a regular 35mm frame in portrait format, doubling the capacity of each roll. Using this camera, you’ll be able to take 48 or 72 images per roll instead of the usual 24 or 36. The next big issue is the rewind knob. It works, but it feels flimsy — like it could fail if there was ever a big more pressure. Take it easy when rewinding the film using the button on the bottom of the camera. Don’t ever force it, of you may end up not being able to rewind the film. There are plenty of good reasons why some love the authentic look and feel of film-generated photographs; there’s also the discipline of having only 24 or 36 exposures to work with, and the anticipation of having a roll developed. Then there’s the desire to slow down from the relentless pace of digital technology and instant gratificationI’ve used these rechargeable batteries, which will last longer than 8 months in the Ilford Sprite 35-II on a single charge. In older models, the flash will make a whining sound when first charging (newer models don’t make this sound), and lights up a red LED on top of the camera when it is ready to fire. While Ilford doesn’t advertise this, the aperture does get larger when you turn on the flash. That means you can get a brighter exposure by turning on the flash — even if you’re taking landscape photos. This places it as one of the cheapest new cameras you can buy and if you can live with pink even cheaper than some single use cameras. Class rival The minimalist design frees your mind to focus on the organic side of photography, the creative side, the intentional side, and the here and now —which, in part, is precisely why the Sprite II is s o much fun for beginners & casuals. A fixed shutter speed and single element f9 fixed-focus wide-angle lens that’s perfect for daytime photography.

We know that users of analog cameras give a large part of the film for development and then also receive files from their negatives. That is why the camera will also be available as a bundle with selected inkjet photo papers. In this way, the user can print out his analogue photos at home, ”says Karsten Goltz, General Manager at Ilford. According to Ilford, It takes 15 seconds for the flash to charge for a full shot. In practice, I’ve had the flash recycle time take anywhere from 3 to 20 seconds depending on how cold it is outside, and how much juice is left in the battery. What’s the difference between the Ilford Sprite 35-II and the Harman Reusable Camera? ILFORD revives the popular retro film camera from 1964 and introduces the new »ILFORD Sprite 35-II« Features a manual film advance winding lever that moves through each exposure & rewinds the roll when finished. There are no technical barriers, no settings to mess with, nothing to distract you from what you're doing, and nothing to disguise ( or make up for) any weaknesses, creatively speaking.This camera looks amazing using color films like Kodak Gold, Ultramax. Their warm, saturated feel looks stunning in this camera, capturing perfect skin tones that look gorgeous at sunsets. ISO 400 film will give you more exposure latitude in the shadows and is preferable when shooting later in the day, or with flash at night. The camera has a fixed shutter speed (1/120s) with a 31mm, single element f/9 fixed-focus wide-angle lens, perfect for capturing most well-focused daylight scenes, and also features a built-in flash with a 15-second recycle time for night time shooting. The lens is not the sharpest, and the shutter speed is slow enough that it will make blurry images if you’re moving, but that’s actually a benefit for this camera. Because The Kodak Ektar H35 isn’t as sharp, it makes skin look flawless, and people look younger.
