I bought that a long time ago and it seems I can't find it now too 😅 but here's a very similar one from Kenko amzn.to/4ajOJCl (affiliate link) which is a bit expensive. I looked at B&H and they have a Tiffen filter that's cheaper but it's on "special order" so I'm not sure how long before they could ship that www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/221551-REG/Tiffen_305ND6_30_5mm_Neutral_Density_ND.html (not an affiliate link) I would also suggest looking on eBay for "30.5mm ND Filter" there should be some second-hand ones for old digital cameras that might be cheaper
Beautiful photos, thank you for the inspiration. I just realised how well the new lens performs under various light conditions. Bulb mode and ability to use filters really expand the capabilities of the H35N. With this lens, adding some simple zone focusing would be the next step while maintaining the price reasonable. Well done, RETO!
subbed! your h35n videos convinced me to get one! i looove shooting film my nikon em, but don't carry it with me everywhere due to the size + all my prime lenses. i saw your video on the h35n and realized that it's PERFECT for what i was looking for. i can just keep it in my bookbag or purse and it's ready to go at anytime. excited to get some faster film now since i just now learned nd filters will fit on this cam!! thank you!!
Watching your video made me more excited for my camera to arrived, i've been watching a lot of content about the H35N and you definitely took advantage of everything this cameras offers(which is not much lol) but in a very creative way and i believe you elevate its quality and ways this camera can be used. Thank you so much for the inspiration and the tips!
This is unbelievably helpful. I’ve ordered the H35N specifically for a trip to vegas this month (didn’t want to lug around my ME Super but still wanted to use a 35mm camera for the trip). This video specifically covered my dilemma of shooting inside and outside in vegas on a single chosen ISO. Going to order the same ND filter and film. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this I'm super excited for my camera to come and I really didn't want to use the star filter as my lens cap to protect it in travel. Also great hints about the higher ISO and taking the filter off when you go inside
I havent taken photos in so many years, but I find digital photography so boring and sterile. I just watched another guy’s video that totally deflated me about this camera (which I found on youtube last night and got excited for.) This video has totally re-invigorated my excitement to get this camera.
Like your mic holder! There is supposedly an Ilfocolor half frame disposable - I am looking for one. You should be able to find old 30.5 filters in junk boxes at old line camera shops - if you having near you… Great Vegas shots from a low-tech camera!
Thank you--great shots! I wonder... is there a polarizing filter (matching the thread) that indicates orientation? (Since we won't be able to tell with the view finder.)
if you want a high quality automatic half frame the olympus EE3, blows the ektar camera out of the water... and they is the EED if you want a built in flash
I just bought Ektar H35 to get started with film photography.( My first ever camera) I am going to try it out soon. Should I buy film roll with iso 100 or 200 or 400 I am confused. If someone could advice, that would be helpful.
Congrats on your first film camera! Hope you enjoy To be brief, I’d use 100 or 200 for the Ektar H35. 100/200 for outdoors, 400 for low light situations. The number of the ISO corresponds to how light sensitive the film is, the higher, the more light sensitive it is. Look up “exposure triangle photography” if you want to learn more about this, but TLDR, usually you can control the exposure by either changing the shutter speed, aperture, or ISO/ASA. Since the Ektar H35 has a fixed shutter speed and aperture, you can only “control” the exposure by choosing the ISO (and using the flash, I guess). From my experience, 100 or 200 works best while 400 can start to look overexposed. Cheers!
Hi thank you for sharing this video. I am just curious how the final photo will be? It mean we need to physically cut to separate the photo into 2 individual photo is it?
Hello, my name is Liza. I need your help. I watched a lot of your videos, you are very cool. I would like to buy a film camera, but I can’t decide, since this is my first film camera. Tell me which one is better to choose: Kodak m38, Kodak H35n, Kodak f9? Or maybe you have another option? I really like the film effect, and the lightness of the device itself, but I would like the clarity and sharpness to be acceptable. In general, probably the most interesting option is the Kodak H35n, since you can save on film, but it upsets me that the quality of the image is reduced. And what do you think ? What should I choose?
Love your videos. Just bought my H35N because of you. Im going to use on my Skii Trip! Here is for hoping for good photos! What film do you recommend for snow places? 200 gold or 400 ultramax?
Thanks! Snow reflects a lot of light, so on the two you mentioned, I’d go for Gold 200. Personally, I’d probably go for Ektar 100, Lomography colour negative 100, or Reflex Lab Pro 100 😄 have fun!
Interesting question, I have 2 smartphone lenses that I think would go perfectly with a film camera, but I actually don't what the millimeters are for those lenses.
Do you mean those lenses that attach to your phone’s camera or lens filters? If it’s the former, I’d suggest doing some research because a phone’s sensor is way smaller than film so the lenses made for those won’t cover the whole film at all. Also, the distance from a phone lens and the phone sensor tend to be narrower than the distance film cameras have between lenses and the film plane so focusing will be a challenge (it’s why some lenses can’t be adapted to other cameras). It’s a bit complicated but hope this makes sense 😅
Thanks! 😊 As long as they are the general, screw-on 30.5mm filters, they should fit (there are other types like the bayonet filters for TLR cameras like the Yashica MAT series which won’t fit)
Hey! Your ND fotos are amazing! I shoot iso 200 film on this camera and I noticed it does overexpose sunny scenes quite a bit. Given my iso should I buy ND2 or ND4 would work just as fine?
Hey thanks! Why not both? Hehe jk ND4 on ISO 200 might be too much since that’s 2 stops so it’ll be like you’re shooting with an ISO 50 film. But also, ask yourself whether you wanna stick to ISO 200 or switch to ISO 100 instead and not needing an ND
@ sounds like a plan! Have you tried iso 100 with this camera? ISO 200 film is the best bang for the buck tho! Also I guess iso 100 would struggle when it’s darker hours.. I see this camera as a replacement for smartphone photography so I carry it on me at all times. So I’m looking for this perfect formula for every condition. I guess you’re right I need 1 stop for 200 and 2 stops for 800 (when I’m in a twilight zone) 😁
Thanks! Sadly, I can’t seem to find the set anymore (it’s called the Lomo’instant square glass Color filter set if you wanna watch for them on resale sites), Lomography might’ve already discontinued it 😞 I saw some similar ones on eBay though, like this one www.ebay.ca/itm/266107740391?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=Y2YTQ4jPR42&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=vtoWZ-19S7y&var=565952044870&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Just make sure the filter thread size is 30.5mm
I’ve sent my half-frames for development to Graination (in Spadina, Chinatown), Downtown Camera (DTC) (Queen st, Moss Park), and Aden Camera (Yonge, College Park) From my experience, Graination & Aden scans each frames separately so you get individual photos, while DTC scans the one whole frame so you get two photos in one. I prefer the individual scans because you can be sure the scanning will be accurate for each image. I just put two images together in post if I want to make diptychs. But if you want to just get two images in one photo right off the bat, go with DTC. I’ve mostly gone to DTC, but I now have a bias for Graination 😂
Did anyone had issues with the flash of h35n? Mine stopped working around midway of my first film. edit after a while: It was the battery... lmao. I changed the battery which didn't realise that it was dead until I decided to buy a new one. so no problem with my flash
Can I use filters from other brands like Fujicolor 200 135/36, Ilford Roll HP5 Plus 135/36, Ilford Roll XP2 135/36 or Fujifilm Rolls Speria X-TRA 400 36. It does not damage the camera or lose quality by using rolls from other brands that are not Kodak, right?Is there a machine I can buy that develops camera rolls for digital or printed photo at home without having to go to a store?
Yes, you can use films from other brands, but I recommend those with ISO between 100 and 200. If you wanna use 400 and 800 in sunny conditions, you can use an ND filter. As for developing and scanning at home, it’s a little complicated. There’s no one machine that will do it for you, it’s a whole process, like buying chemicals, darkroom tools, etc. then scanning tools and software that will colourize your scans. You can check “developing film at home” videos here on RUclips, but I really recommend going to a lab first
I was thinking about buying the Kodak just to have fun with my friends and to take on trips because it is a cheap and practical machine to use. I haven't bought an h35 yet because I have an Olympus Superzoom Super Zoom 105 camera. What films do you recommend using with the Olympus. Can I use the same 35mm films with ISO between 100 and 200 as the Kodak h35n?
I can’t seem to find one on Amazon ES. You might have better chances on eBay 🥲 Another thing you can do is buy a bigger filter like a 37mm ND4 filter amzn.eu/d/5uCQDlG and a 37mm to 30.5mm step up ring adapter amzn.eu/d/dyD4eij
do you have the link from nd4 filter? I can’t find it
I bought that a long time ago and it seems I can't find it now too 😅 but here's a very similar one from Kenko amzn.to/4ajOJCl (affiliate link) which is a bit expensive.

Really liked those night shots towards the end. #kodakh35n
Thanks! It was worth going out on a cold winter night to get those shots for sure haha
Like your mic holder!

You should be able to find old 30.5 filters in junk boxes at old line camera shops - if you having near you…
Great Vegas shots from a low-tech camera!
Thanks! I haven’t heard of an ilfocolor half frame disposable but I’ve tried their ilfocolor disposable. It’s pretty much like other disposables 😅
@@Bonsees Freestyle Photo sells it in the US. My camera just arrived.
@@michaelbruchas6663 nice! Have fun 🤩
Thank you--great shots! I wonder... is there a polarizing filter (matching the thread) that indicates orientation? (Since we won't be able to tell with the view finder.)
Not that I know of for this size, might have to DIY it like marking the polarized sized of the filter 😅

Hi! The ND Filter 4 from hoya how many mms does it have to be? I really like this video i am learning a lot

I cant believe the filter thread isnt something kodak is shouting about and not release a pack that has the filters in it.
Right? I’d buy a set of filter for sure 😆
Beautiful! What is the filter thread size?
30.5mm ☺️

Nope, ND only for outdoord

The lens of kodak h35n are the same size as the h35?
Same focal length (22mm) but the H35N has a glass element so it’s sharper
