Back in the olden days (like 40+ years ago) multiple exposure photography was a serious part of the art-form. We used to hand-cut lens masks in order to shoot superimposed images that looked like what you might see when matte painting was used in motion pictures.
I honestly don't understand the inclusion of a star filter, when an ND or UV filter is far more useful. Especially since a star filter is easy to make with a bit of clear plastic and a Brillo pad.
A thought came across my mind: each color of the camera could have had a different filter. Star as one option, a diffusion filter for blooming highlights, an ND filter, a mild yellow filter for B&W contrast, and a dark red filter. A few fun creative effects, a utility ND, and a pair of contrast filters for black and white. Now you can sell someone three or four cameras.
The picture at 4:26 was by far my favorite shot, it’s funny how many great pieces are made by complete accident. Might have to go out of my way and get this camera to experiment with the double exposure mode.
I love photography and girlfriend got me this for christmas. Cant wait to see how the pics turn out, 72 exposures is HEAPS.
Enjoy! It’s an awesome little camera 🥰
thank you so much for this :) Found your video while being undecidable in which one to choose
Thank you! I was considering to upgrade and this video was very helpful! Keep up the great work, Andrew!
Thanks so much!
I think price aside, one of the advantages of these types of cameras is their simplicity and size. Yes you could get a film SLR camera for $50-$100 that would take better photos and give you more control, but you're giving up the size/weight benefit, and the fact that if you don't need full frames, you effectively get twice the shots on each roll. Half-frame cameras I think are a bit of a niche but might also be interesting to play around with for casual shooting.
I’ve been looking into buying a camera for ages for summer holiday and you’ve just shown me perfect one ❤
Hope you love it!
i just purchased h35n and your video was so helpful! thank you
Thanks so much! I appreciate it!
Perhaps this is one to add to my collection. Looks like fun especially the bulb mode.
It’s my permanent replacement for disposables! I love them, very fun camera :)
I have the older version, and something to know, is that I had such a hard time finding someone to develop half frame film. I am a beginner, and fujifilm does not develop half frame. Most places who develop half frame seem to charge more than for full frame. Also, I live in Canada and couldn't find anyone here to do it, so I send mine to Photovision. SO all this to say, it has become very costly: film cost, upcharge on half frame developing, USD to CAD conversion, and cost to ship internationally.
dayum REALLY good to know.
the developing is the same for full and half frame, no? the scanning is the issue
That is very surprising,
It’s the same EXACT process to develop half frame, scanning is the same too, they could just scan two images on one (then you could crop them yourself)
It’s pretty disappointing to hear that they’re upcharging you for something that is the same amount of work😱
Sorry that’s been your experience!! For my local lab it’s the usual price ☹️
@@Anjroo i think the extra charge/fee comes in the form of individually scanning it instead of diptych, so instead of 36 scans it's 72 scans. heard that some labs in my area charge the same for diptych scans (i.e. one frame is two images, crop it yourself) but charge a little more if you want each image individually scanned
Developing is not so hard. Getting it scanned good is another thing.
I feel like this sits in a sweet spot for me (especially because of the high numver of shootable frames) between using a boring old phone camera and getting a camera that is more work than I honestly need. I like the quick point and click ability, but I get a little bit of control to do fun stuff beyond that. I LOVE the idea of photography and spent a sememster in a dark room in college, but I’m just looking to capture memories ina way that is comforting and connects me to the world of my youth. So I think I don’t need to be focusing and worrying about light etc.
Thanks for doing these.
If they made the film rewind a little more robust as well as updating the lens and adding bulb mode, I would consider buying it. If the rewind is still flimsy, I don’t know if those other updates are really worth it. I’m perfectly happy with my old version.
For around the same price, you could get an Olympus Pen (not the digital ones) but as an owner of one of these, the lack of flash kinda limits what it can do indoors unless you got an external flash.
Wait so before hand the ektar h35 took portrait pictures when held normally? And now the h35n takes landscape ones when held normally and portrait when rotated on its side?
They both still are portrait while held normally, but on the h35n just the viewfinder is flipped, so it’s a tiny bit bigger and easier to compose. Before it had a cheap mask blocking off parts of the viewfinder
The star filter is just a built in lens protector in my opinion...
Hahaha that’s 100% what I use it for 😂😂😂 so glad someone else thought of that too
I’ve taken a similar photo at that same Holiday Gas station lol in Saratoga right? Dope 😂
Hi! Thanks for the video! ¿Can you share how you decide the time of exposition in bulb mode? For instance, in the gas station, ¿how did you get to know the exposition? On the other hand, in the lens it's written F=22. ¿Is it really the aperture?
loove this video!! has exactly the info I wanted!!
Thank you so much! Glad it helped 🥰
thank you for this video, i will save my money to upgrade it. do you think that kodak will make new one after launching Kodak Ektar H35n ????
Thank you for this content. Very informative as I am looking into buying this soon. I do have a question. Forgive me for being dumb asking this lol. How did you manage to upload your shots in the video? sorry i know these are films and needs to be developed? just wondered how you were able to show us the image results as samples in your vid. did you take pics of them developed photos or are there any shops who can develop these bits and give us digital copies as well? appreciate it
My most recent video answers all my FAQ! :)
thanks for your video)
i’m from ukraine and in our country this camera kinda VERY overpriced (65 vs 89 bucks, it’s cost almost like instax), but i was lucky to buy more advanced cameras cheaper so decided why not? double the frames on party or travel could be useful for fun memories)
today i finally got mine, already shoot one mini film roll)
Could you tell me about your tan camera sling? I would like to know where to find one similar.
It’s also sold by Kodak Reto! The ones who make the camera :)
@@Anjroo I thought the subdued logo looked familiar, I found it. Thank you for the reply.
What film speed do you usually use with these cameras??
Whatever is the cheapest 😂😂
But usually iso 200-400 :)
Does the flash make the lens to to f8? I heard in does so
Yes it does!
This is a sneaky feature that didn’t really get marketed on release. I wish I knew that before filming this
This camere would be perfect if it had 2 or 3 shutter speeds.
like 1/30 1/100 and 1/200
then it would be more usabl
I completely agree, I really dislike how most point and shoots can only manage 1/100, I’d love it to be just a touch faster since I’ve had a handful of shots ruined by shake 😭
I’m probably gonna go with that one (and it looks cool) but the whole reason I even looked at these cameras was that original green one with the textured front. It just looks so much more of an age. I wish they’d make adirect upgrade cause I really just like investing in glass…even if its mostly psychological. Just makes it feel more like a “real” camera. And those new functions ARE cool.
Since I didn’t already have one, I think it’d be dumb not to take advantage of the upgrades. Especially since the plastic lens was oroginally the only thing holding me back.
I'm really curious about getting this camera... I've never shoot in film, and I really want to give it a try. However, I'm a shaky-hand person; I usually have my shutter speed at like 250 to compensate for this. Should I still give it a try, or is it a bad investment since I will ruin them all?
Did you ever gave it a try?
This is so helpful! Made a mistake of ordering the H35, and now rethinking if I should return and replace to H35N. Upgrades are indeed great particularly the glass lens, but the photo quality difference between the two is still minor and I’m just enticed with the nostalgic vibes of the film pictures. I have no interest in learning photography, star filter is not that remarkable, plus that sticky flexible thing is not even included, so thanks for clearing that! If I would’ve researched better, I’ll pick the H35N. But it’s not worth the hassle of returning, this H35 will do 😄
Still a great camera! Don’t worry you didn’t make a mistake 🥰 these bad boys will forever replace disposable cameras, they are cheaper, and not as wasteful!
they dont have timer feature?
Unfortunately no! Timers are a pretty advanced feature, and these cameras are definitely more simple and cheap
Bulb setting + a stopwatch = timer.
@@Anjroo Timers are not advanced at all. The simplest is just a small clockwork that is quite inexpensive to make. I have cameras from the 1890's that have timer settings for the shutter.
@@kmoecub Depends what you mean by timer.
The old T setting was basically a bulb mode that stayed open without being held until used again. This is probably not too complicated, but it’s also not the most necessary, since holding the shutter in bulb isn’t hard, and modern films are fast enough that you probably aren’t doing multiple minute exposures.
A self-timer which waits 10 seconds before taking the shot is not a simple feature. It probably doesn’t need to be too accurate, unlike shutter speeds, but it would require a significant step up in complexity, and one unlikely in a plastic fantastic like the Reto Kodak cameras.
Can I use kodak ektar h35 full frame?
No. Half-frame cameras are always half-frame. It's a function of how the film is advanced and masked by the camera body.
@@kmoecub okay thanks for the answer
it's a shame it's so ugly compared to the h35. H35 is a truly beautiful camera.
Pentax 17 who??? lmao
Lololol yeah that $500 is a tough pill to swallow 😳
@@Anjroo I grabbed a H35n after watching these vids as an excuse to start home dev/scanning lol thanks for the inspo!
70 bucks is not cheap. Plus whatever the hell film costs.
Looks like iPhone 3 pictures….
People are after that look sometimes
70 bucks lmao. Fuck half frame. I can buy 10 films for that price and just use the way better p&s you can get for 10.
example of that camera?
I love half frame, loads of fun!
这东西就是塑料垃圾。拍的东西清晰度差。这个价位不如买个二手正规PS照相机。
