KODAK EKTAR H35N Half Frame Film Camera Bundle with Kodak Ultramax 400/24EXP 35mm Roll Film (Striped Green, Bundle)

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

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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I bought this camera because i wanted an alternative to buying disposable film cameras. at first the counter couldn't move, so i wasn't sure if the pictures i was talking would be captured. Secondly I decided to take this camera on a two week trip to Europe and I took pictures of monuments, sites and everything else travel related. When I returned and got the film roll developed nothing came out well. Two entire rolls were spoiled. All the photos had a pitch black haze over it. To add insult to injury i decided to give this product one last chance before i tossed it in the trash. About 30 shots in the film advancer slide and the capture button were stuck. The guy at my photo development studio told me that this kind of film camera wasn't worth it and that I'm better off sourcing a used older film camera online. The disposable fuji and kodak cameras are so much better an easier to use than this. this product is a complete waste of money.

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!
