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

This is such a fun little half-frame film camera, but if you’re brand new to film (like me), a few things were confusing at first — so here’s what I learned to save you some time:• The camera itself is fully mechanical — it doesn’t need batteries to shoot. The single AAA battery is only for the flash.• To avoid draining the battery, just make sure the flash switch is down (off) when you’re not using it. When the switch is up, the red light means the flash is charging.• After every shot, you must wind the film using the black wheel on top until it stops — otherwise you’ll either double-expose or the shutter won’t fire.• Loading film: tuck the film leader into the slot on the take-up spool (the empty black cylinder on the left), make sure the sprocket holes sit on the teeth, then advance until it catches. Once the counter hits 1, you’re ready to shoot.• The star filter switch is just a fun effect:• Down = normal photos (N).• Up = ✦ star filter on (lights turn into starbursts at night).I can’t wait to share the photos that come out of this little camera! I’ll update this review once I’ve developed my first roll.

This is the best point and shoot film camera I’ve used. I used this camera with fujifilm color 200 and they turned out amazing. Because it’s half frame, you get double the exposures and they look great side by side. Overexposure on one frame didn’t affect my other photo next to it. I think for the price it is well worth it. The star lens was cool to use, but I don’t use it very often as I don’t want that affect. Super simple to load the film, and progress the film. I haven’t used the flash yet, but it just requires 1 triple a battery and a couple seconds to charge the flash. The camera will count your exposures so you know how many you have left. Love this camera

I couldn't get it to work at all, eventually concluding mine had just came broken. It doesn't help that there aren't many resources and tutorials on how to use it. I spent maybe...4 hours trying to figure it out with online resources and after following everything, it would click, flash, and leave the film unaffected.

This thing is a tank. Looks cheap but seems fairly sturdy. Just don’t drop it too much. It works great and does the job. It’s not going to give you the range of controls found in other cameras but that’s not what this camera is about. This camera is essentially a reusable disposable camera where you get to pick the film stock. I also love that it’s half frame so you get more shots per roll, reducing the price per frame.

This type of camera makes me feel so nostalgic, not very sturdy for a camera, my cat nocked it over the counter and the top piece on the front came off 😅 the flash only works when you take off and then put back in the battery 💀 and even like that sometimes it doesn’t work. But I got it to take cute pictures for the summer and it works great!

Love how light this camera is. Has survived being in my pocket on vacation. Haven’t developed pictures yet but looking forward to seeing how they turn out.

The media could not be loaded. Es una cámara económica, así que no esperen un lente super nítido. Sin embargo cumple con su objetivo de apuntar y disparar sin pensar mucho. Con una apertura F11, alcanza con una película ISO 200 para días soleados e ISO 400 para nublados.No tuve la mejor experiencia con blanco y negro.Si buscan una cámara nueva con mayor funcionalidad, considerar una Lomo LC o Pentax 17 que son considerablemente más caras o sino buscar alguna cámara usada.

This quirky half-frame camera brings an exciting twist to 35mm film photography. The EKTAR H35N's half-frame format cleverly doubles your shots per roll, making film photography more economical while creating interesting diptych possibilities. The striped silver finish gives it a sleek, retro-modern aesthetic that draws attention without being flashy.The focus-free lens delivers surprisingly sharp images for such a compact camera. While it may not match the precision of high-end SLRs, it consistently produces photos with pleasant contrast and minimal vignetting. The built-in star filter adds a creative option for light sources, though it's subtle enough not to overwhelm your shots.Operation is wonderfully straightforward - perfect for both film photography beginners and experienced shooters wanting a fun point-and-shoot. The bulb function is a welcome addition for low-light experimentation, though you'll need a steady hand or surface since there's no tripod mount. The improved coating on the lens does help reduce flare, though you'll still get some character in backlit situations.The build quality feels solid despite the lightweight plastic construction. One minor drawback is the slightly stiff film advance wheel, though it smooths out with use. The battery door could be more robust, but overall, the camera feels like it can handle daily carry. For anyone interested in film photography, whether as a primary camera or a creative tool, this half-frame offering from Kodak provides excellent value and unique creative possibilities.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
