Easy to use, fun point-and-shoot. I like my Lomourette better (if I had to choose only one half-frame camera) but this is good for the price and has fun features.

Great quality point and shoot. The filter is pointless and the flash is difficult to turn on and off as the ring is so stiff, but other than that it does a great job!

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 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!

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.

三脚穴、バルブ撮影、スターフィルターが追加されたことによっていろいろな撮影を楽しめるようになりました。夜でもブレずに長時間露光できてとてもいいです。スターフィルターは光がしっかりあると効果が高まりました。

Note: my pictures were taken with Fujifilm Fujicolor 200 and developed and scanned by The Darkroom.I decided to buy the Ektar H35N when I was thinking of getting into film photography. I have a Nikon DSLR and enjoy photography in general, but was seeking to get an older vintage look for my photobooks. I thought about getting an older SLR but didn't want to deal with adding another big camera with different lenses and equipment . That's why the H35N appealed to me; it's small and you can easily just throw it in your camera bag. What's neat is that you also get double the shots that you'd normally get from a 35mm camera since it's a half frame camera.Overall, I'm happy with my purchase. The resolution isn't anything to be impressed by, but I'd use this camera to take pictures of more day-to-day things instead of the really important pictures I want to take. I think using this camera on a road trip or to take street pictures of places you visit would be a good way to use it. The indoor pictures aren't too bad, but you need the flash for indoor pictures. I enjoyed taking candid pictures with this camera; it made me feel like we were living in the moment. I'd recommend this camera for anyone who's in a similar situation to mine or to someone who's thinking of getting a disposable camera and wants to use it more than once.So why not five stars? Well, I saw that there's a cheaper version of this camera, the Ektar H35, and I think that I'd opt for that camera if I could go back and make my purchase. This newer model has a bulb mode, star filter, and a slightly redesigned look and slightly better resolution, but the price is creeping towards justifying a purchase of an older SLR camera. The older model basically does the same thing, and I didn't really feel the need to use the new star filter and bulb mode.
