Review: This is NOT a professional camera, but it's a great alternative to disposables. - I'm still relatively new to film photography but, I can confidently say that this camera is very nice to have. I personally just wanted a film camera with the quality of disposables, and this is absolutely perfect. BUILD QUALITY Now as you could guess, the camera itself doesn't have a great build quality, it's pretty much plastic, which wasn't an issue for me, but I know could turn off some buyers to it. The leather and the part above it feel nice to the touch though. One small complaint I do have though is that the battery compartment is a bit sensitive and just grazing it could open it. But I solved the issue by slightly changing where I put my left thumb on the camera. FLASH The flash itself needs a AAA battery and works great. It's very bright and gets the job done for painting the subjects in the dark from about six feet away I'd say. To turn on the flash, you sort of have to spin the border around the lens, there's a spot to grab on to for your nail right at the top, to make it easy. It's also pretty much impossible to turn the flash on and off by accident. LOADING/UNLOADING Loading the film is very easy on this, as you just pretty much put it in there and wind it up until you hear that first click. SUPER IMPORTANT, when unloading, don't forget to click down the rewind button near the battery compartment before unwinding the film. If it unclicks itself during the process, just press it again then it should stay for sure. VIEWFINDER/EXPOSURE COUNT The biggest issue that I have with this camera is the exposure count, as it is more difficult to view than other cameras. I'm not sure why they made it that way, but it is what it is. I don't really worry about it as I have 36 exposure rolls I use (which turn to 72) and always have a spare with me. The viewfinder has little meshlike blocks on the left and right sides, to show what will be taken out of the shot. SHOOTING TIPS I got my film back and it is safe to say that this thing performs really well outdoors on a sunny day. I like the softness and the grain on the images I got back. One note that I will add, is to ALWAYS use flash indoors unless there is a good amount of natural sunlight and use flash when it's not sunny outside. Even if it's light out, if it isn't bright, use flash if capturing subjects. I included an example of what it looks like when you shot in low light without flash (I was using a roll of Kodacolor Ultra Max 400). CLOSING REMARKS I think this is an excellent camera for the price and if you want an alternative to disposables. It's really easy to just pass the camera to a friend who is inexperienced with this camera, as it's pretty much wind, point, and shoot.
Review: Amazing Camera!!!!! - I love this camera! Very easy to carry around. This is my first time shooting with a film camera and I’m so glad I picked the Ektar H35. I used the Kodak Gold film and I’m absolutely obsessseeddd with how the colors came out. Unfortunately I did drop it like a billion times so the flash broke but I haven’t gotten any of those pictures developed. I’d say 100% recommend if you are getting into film. Very fun and easy to shoot with.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I'm a grandma buying this camera for my college granddaughter. which film should i buy for her to get started? i know it needs 35mm, but i'm confused.**
A: For color, I like FUJIFILM Fujicolor Superia X-TRA 400. For black and white, I like Kodak Professional Tri-X 400. Both of them are about $13 per roll. It could be cheaper (say $9) if you could find local camera stores. Be careful to double-check that the film you buy is 35mm (it is called 135 sometimes), not 120. For a 36-exposure roll, you can take at least 72 photos. Sometimes you will see 24-exposure rolls, which can give you 48 photos. Hope it helps!

**Q: Does the window for the film count up or down?**
A: It counts up, but the numbers are very tiny.

**Q: Is the leather used synthetic or not?**
A: It is not real leather. This is a plastic camera that is made to look retro.

**Q: Does this camera strictly shoot half-frame or is it capable of shooting full-frame as well?**
A: It is strictly half-frame.  The only control option you have is to turn on or turn off the flash.  Everything else is fixed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love the look, makes you think about how to take photos
*by B***. on September 8, 2023*

When I first got this I just though of it as a camera that took half frame photos and would net you a sort of 2-in-1 photo. Now, over a year later, it has me thinking of interesting ways to take photos to take advantage of the half frame format. Remember that by default the photos will be in landscape because it's a half frame. But what if you took consecutive photos that when put together make one interesting landscape photo? There's lots of techniques online and I encourage anyone who wants to get creative to look them up. The camera itself is not complex. It's a simple plastic camera with a plastic lens that takes run of the mill film. I've really enjoyed the way the photos come out, especially when there's a lot of contrast in the image. There's something about a dark room with a hard light pouring in from one area that really gives the photos a mysterious, vintage vibe to them. I literally just took a boring photo of my garage with the lights out but sunlight hitting the window and it came out as a moody art piece somehow. It's a very surprising little camera. It does have a built in flash that uses a AAA battery if you want to use it but generally speaking I haven't met a flash on a camera that looked good. I'd definitely recommend this as a gift or as a tool for any artist who wants to be creative with photography in an uncommon way.
