Title: Great entry level film camera
Review: 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.

Title: Good for travel or for people new to film photography
Review: 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 4×6 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!

Title: It’s a cheap /horrible product and its way over priced
Review: If I could give this lower than a one I would , I’m st bts / bt21 collector as you can see in the picture so trust me when I say this camera is garbage. It’s so light and cheaply made because Kodak I just learned went bankrupt twice and got taken over by someone else . This camera is flimsy , it’s so cheap when you get it , I laughed receiving it , it should have cost 10 dollars . It looks good in the picture but that’s because you have not held it

Title: A non-disposable disposable camera. Fun
Review: For the money, this is fun to have around. It’s a one trick pony with the lens flare feature, but it almost always looks cool. So why not. Worth remembering this is a *real* film camera but so is a disposable one. The pictures look about the same. I’d only buy this if you like having a disposable around but you have an opinion about the specific type of film you want inside.

Title: Fantastic concept, fantastic execution.
Review: I bought this for my partner. I (31F) am a photographer, he thinks like one but he’s never had much practice or his own film camera. He likes the idea of shooting film & maybe even self~developing, so I figured this would be a great way for him to explore it without having to dive all the way into building us a darkroom. He (32M) LOVES IT, it has been two weeks and he takes it with us almost everywhere. We’re not even through his first film because you effectively get 72 shots in a 36-shot roll. I’m sensing a darkroom in our future. Great modern twist on a classic Kodak.

Title: Great beginner camera
Review: I had my wedding photos taken on 35mm and I fell in love with the look and really wanted to learn on my own. I was so intimidated by film so I decided to start off with the Ektar so if I failed I hadn’t wasted that much money. I just got the scans back from the first roll and I love this thing. I wish there were better instructions for how to load it but luckily there are lots of YouTube videos. Since I’m assuming other novices will buy this, don’t open the back lol. I did (dumb rookie mistake) and ruined my last few frames but I had it open a long time and the rest were fine. So excited to keep shooting with this. Def worth the money to have them professionally developed but just what I was looking for.

Title: Wonderful camera
Review: Love this thing! Took me a whole year to shoot 72 frames but I was so pleased when I got it back. This was with Kodak gold 200. The star filter is great, adds a little haze and flare but remember to switch it off when you don’t need it or your photos will have a little extra grain. Over all this is a wonderful camera. I cherish these photos more than the ones taken with my iPhone!

Review: Bu kameranın incelemelerini mutlaka izleyin. Ben Kodak ultramax 400 film ile kullandım. Bilmeniz gereken önemli noktalardan bazıları:1. Son derece ucuz, hafif, plastik bir analog fotoğraf makinası2. Yarım kare formatında çekiyor, her bir fotoğraf filmi karesine dikey olarak yan yana iki fotoğraf sığdırıyor, yani 36 karelik 35mm bir film rulosu ile 72 fotoğraf çekebiliyorsunuz.3. Kameranın lensi plastik ve oldukça küçük, çok az ışık alıyor. Kapalı alanda çektiğim fotoğraflar gündüz vakti olmasına, oldukça parlak ampul aydınlatması olmasına ve 400 iso film kullanmama rağmen çok karanlık çıktı. Açık alanda ya da doğrudan güneş ışığı alan bir yerde değilseniz flaş kullanmanız şart.4. Bu makina güneş ışığı altında fotoğraf çekmeye daha uygun olduğu için iso 400 yerine iso 200 film kullanmak daha uygun olabilir. Güneş ışığında çektiğim manzara fotoğrafları da 400 iso film kullandığım için istediğimden biraz daha parlak çıktılar. Bir sonraki sefer için Kodak Gold 200 film alıp ağırlıklı olarak dış mekanda gündüz vakti çekim yapmayı düşünüyorum. Fakat gece flaş kullanarak 400 iso film ile çektiğim fotoğraflardan memnunum.Sonuç olarak fiyatı Türkiye’de yaşayanlar için hak ettiğinden çok daha pahalı olsa da bana göre bu fiyata alabileceğiniz, rahatça yanınızda taşıyabileceğiniz en güzel yeni analog fotoğraf makinası. Ben oldukça memnunum. Bahsettiğim özelliklerin farkında olarak satın alacaksanız tavsiye ederim.
