Kodak M35: How to Use + First Impressions
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 июл 2024
- [Edit] I just noticed some of the photos were labelled as having been taken with the Flash Fujica AF and Fujifilm Superia. That's a copy-paste error on my part 😅 All the photos in this video were taken with my Kodak M35 and Kodak Ultramax.
In this video, I talk about my first impressions of using the Kodak M35 film camera. It is a reusable plastic film camera, similar to the Dubblefilm Show Camera, Ilford Harman Reusable Camera, and Lomography Simple Use Film Camera, which are all a step-up from disposable film cameras.
I also show how to load it with film, as well as how to unload the film after finishing taking photos.
The photos I took in this video aren't the best, imo. They're just mundane things I thought were interesting around my neighbourhood in a Calgary suburb. But I hope y'all still like them.

I think that's one of the great things about cameras like these - they make the mundane look interesting. Liked the shots and the video. 👍🏼
That’s a great way of putting it! Thanks 😊
I agree with you!
THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST REVIEW EVER!! Thank you so much!! Great work!!
Oh thanks 😊
love the photos... first time viewer and i binge-watched your videos... i just bought a Kodak Ultra F9 but youve inspired me to get more or get other cameras....
I just got into film camera and i really have no idea what i am doing- your videos are SO helpful to help me get started. something about film cameras is so calming cause we are not caught up with checking selfies and criticizing each digital shot trying to get the perfect picture
-cause film cameras really make you really present in the moment to experience them fully.
thanks so much! 😄
I’ve been wanting to get this camera for a while ! thanks for the review :)
Glad I could help!
omggggg beautiful photos, im so excited to see how my film will turn out! thanks for this video, very good content
Thanks! Hope you get awesome shots 😄
really cool video, all the shots look very pretty! i liked the neighbourhood too 😊 such a cute kitty
Thank you! Misha is definitely a cutie 😊
thank you so much for your VDO, I have this one and I don't really like the indoor pics but for outdoor look very nice. But your pics during snow time is a game changer
Thanks! 🙏🏼
Your videos are so helpful! Thank you so much
My pleasure! Glad you found this helpful 😊
First time viewer - thanks for the great video and for not talking at a million miles an hour like some RUclipsrs! I would have liked some shots utilizing the flash however.
I have about 30 vintage film cameras. I just bought one of these (in pink!) for a project where I purposefully want a disposable camera aesthetic which isn’t really possible with high-end cameras. Hoping it will last the duration of the project (10 rolls or so). 😂
Thanks for tuning in! I’ve only put 4 rolls through my M35 in two years since owning it 😅 it still works, but now I have like 10 other reusable film cameras that I also use every now and then on top of my vintage cameras 😂 I think it should be able to last if you’re not totally beating it though~ haha
Your videos are addictive great job
Aww thanks 😊
I love your voice when you narrate! Mabuhay from a Filipino fan❤️
Thanks po! 😆 I’m Filipino too
OMG😱❤️ Can't wait for your vid about your film camera collection!
omg! lol i just found your channel rn and i already knew you are filipino. Love your aesthetic!
your voice is so calming 10/10
Aww thanks 😊
I have one on the way. Not sure when I'll use it but I'm thinking I'll hand it to my nephew when we go out and see what he captures with it. Great review. Thanks ✌🏾
Thanks! Hope you all enjoy! 😊
Nice vid as usual ! I saw that one coming !
Next, we're gonna see videos about the Harman Reusable ? Yashica MF-1 ? ILFORD photo SPRITE II 35mm ?
It's funny tho because they don't seem to be marketed at all in France / Europe. Each time I'm looking for samples on Instagram (like, for the Kodak M35), there are mostly pictures from South-East Asia.
Haha eventually, yes 😂 I feel like I’m setting up a Marvel cinematic universe where each cameras get their own videos then crossovers haha. Collectibles!
I had to order most of the cameras from eBay ‘cause no retailers sell it where I live (except the Harman which Urban Outfitters and Amazon carries). They’re mostly coming from Hong Kong haha. Dubblefilm is Europe-based though.
Awesome review thank you! :)
Thanks! My pleasure 😊
thank you your videos are so helpful
Glad you think so! Thanks 😊
Thanks for sharing love it 💙
My pleasure! 😊
Woow, thanks for this one!
My pleasure!
This review made me buy it ! 👌🏼
Hope you're enjoying it 😂
Your voice is so calm :)
Ah thanks 😊
Love it 💎
Thank you 😊
Thx..it's really helpful
😊
Making a film about your film cameras collection is a great idea!
Might have to do multiple parts haha 😂
How many you own?
@@dermin3060 20 vintage ones, not including the plastic reusables (I own a lot of them but they mostly function the same, I just like the different colours/brands as collectibles haha 😂)
@@Bonsees few days ago i bought minolta xd7 (in USA it was called xd11). Can you recommend me some good md lenses for it?
@@dermin3060 oh cool! my absolute favourite MD lens is the 50mm f1.4, that thing always stays on my Minolta camera haha. Then there’s the MD zoom rokkor-x 35-70 f3.5 for a good zoom with a nice range. I mostly switch between those lenses, but for wider shots I use the MD w.rokkor-x 28mm f2.8, and for telephoto, I like the 135mm f2.8.
Those are the ones I use the most, but I also have the 40mm f2, 50mm f1.7, 55mm f1.4 (the aperture blades are stuck on f1.4 now lol), 55mm f1.8, 85mm f1.7, 200mm f4, and 100-500mm f8. I think the Minolta MD system is underrated haha it’s my go to system for “serious” 35mm photography 😂
Amei, muito bom o video!!!
Obrigado 😊
nice vid as usual!
other than the dubblefilm camera, its uncannily similar to the ilford spite2 and Agfa reusables as well... down to the flash button and battery compartment locations...
fun-to-use cams nonetheless :)
Exactly! The camera backs all look the same too, so my guess is that it’s just a different front design on the same camera, like when you can change phone casings (Nokia brick phone days 😂)
Hi, I love this video! Helped me play around with my M35. Did you experience the flash not working? Mine doesn’t. Hope you can give a tip? :) Thanks!
I’m gonna assume you’ve put batteries in 😝 Attempting to troubleshoot:
1) the flash will only work if the shutter is cocked. If you have film inside, try advancing the film advance wheel until it locks, turn on the flash, wait for the red light, then take a photo. The flash should fire. There’s a way to test this without film too, open the back door and advance the film advance wheel like how you normally do but at the same time, also advance the gear where the film sprocket goes just a bit below the film advance wheel. This should trick the camera that there’s film inside and will cock the shutter.
2) Weak battery? Try replacing it. This also means the red light is very slow to turn on.
Hopefully these helps. Otherwise, you might have a faulty camera ☹️
Loved this review so much, it inspired me to buy one from ebay! Quick question though: I was exploring the camera and pressed the rewind button (no film inside luckily) but now I feel like its too popped out and I'm scared I'll press it by accident while I'm actually shooting. Any tips? Thank you!!
Thanks!
I think it's ok if you accidentally press the rewind button when there's film inside. The film won't rewind on its own when you press that button, if that's what you're worried about 😛 If you turn the film advance to take your next shot, that should disengage the rewind button.
@@Bonsees thank you for the advice!! Makes me feel much better about the possibility of accidentally pressing 😅
@@melanieduke7422 glad to help! 😊
Hi! Thanks for the video, it is really helpful!
I just started trying analog camera so I barely know anything 🥲
I choose to start this Kodak M35 and I have this question in my head about the type of the film. How different it is between the ISO 200 and 400 film in the result for this camera? Currently I use Kodak colorplus 200. Thank you so much! 🌟
Hi, I haven’t used anything lower than ISO 400 for mine. It should be ok to use ISO 200 if you use it in sunny conditions
@@Bonsees I see. thank you so much! ❤️
OMGGG THE BUNNIESS!!!!!!
I miss seeing them haha I mostly see raccoons here in Toronto, which are cute too, but no more bunnies 😂 🦝
Good informative video, but I think I will pass and use my Kodak KB10 for point and shoot even though I do like the color choices.
Yeah, if you have that camera you don't really need this
i just got mine in the MAIL!!!!!!
Woohoo have fun! 🙌🏼
Hi, if I have iso200 film should I always use the flash with this camera
Hi Sir Bon! May I ask where do you get your film processed and developed? I'm also from Calgary. Thank you!
Whoooh Calgary 🙌🏼 I just get my 35mm colour film developed and scanned at London Drugs at Brentwood, NW. They’re pretty good 👍🏼
Thanks for translation
glad to help!
I bought it out of curiosity and i have the same color
I havent tried it yet but i have a fujicolor 200 film to try on it.
Nice! Have fun 😊
hi! just a question, i'm also using m35. i think i took all the 36 shots already and it says 12 at the photo count not the letter E, i advanced the film and it doesn't move anymore. does this mean that i should rewind it since i think i'm done with all the shots? thank you so much!!
What film did you use? Maybe it’s one of those 24-27 exposure rolls
Also, doesn’t the Kodak m35 count from 0 to 36, not the other way like the Lomography simple use? 🤔
I have this problem too . Sometimes it goes to 12 or 21 . Lucky if i get all but not always :(
thanks for the helpful video!! Just wanna ask if I accidentally clicked the shooting button when loading the film, will the whole film be burnt?
You should be fine~
Hi! Thanks for the video, just bought one and wanted to know if you have to advance the wheel after taking every single picture? Or does it do it automatically?
You have to advance it manually every time you want to take a photo
Hi! What would you recommend? The 38 or 35? Thank you!
Either works. If you want a brighter flash, go for the M38. If you want pastel coloured cameras, M35 has more options 🙂
Hi I am a beginner user of the same film camera. I am currently using the same film. I have gotten the result of my films but most of them are covered with fingers and dark. When should we use the flash? Why are there fingers in my shots when i clearly put my fingers away. Please help. Thank you
Use the flash in-doors, during cloudy days, after sunset, in shadow or back lit. The fingers are ghosts 👻 jk
The lens of this camera is a bit wide so even if your finger is just a little bit near the edge of the lens, it can still show up in the photo. Or the camera strap…
hey i love ur video :D but i have a question: can i use another film roll or do i have to use the kodak one? cuz they are kinda expensive and i found other ones that are way cheaper and have good reviews as well
also what app or whatever this is are u using at 8:32 that is displaying ur photos?
Hey thanks! You can use any brand of 35mm film as long as the ISO rating is 200 and above. Black and white or colour.
And I make my photo slides for video on Adobe premiere 😁
If you wanna do something similar on your phone, check out the Unfold app
@@Bonsees ayyy tysm man 💛💛💛
will keeping the battery in ruin the camera? or do i need to take it out when im not using it
It might… I usually take the battery out of mine if I’m not using it for long periods of time (like half a year or something) but short periods should be ok. It also depends on the battery quality
i want to ask you some questions ;
we can or cant see the photos we take on this film camera until we go to the lab ?
then , if i go to the film shop to get the picture , can i ask them to transfer to the pendrive
btw , hyeee from malaysiaaaa
Hello 👋🏼 you won’t be able to preview your film photos
And you can ask the photo lab for digital scans, mine usually gives me a link to where to download the photos
asking for help!
after every capture, should i wind the gear to the upper right til it clicks??
cuz that's what i did to mine
Yes. That readies your camera for the next shot
Hi im new to film photography and just got my m35! Do you recommend always using flash outside during daylight?
You don’t really need the flash if it’s sunny. I tend to use it if my subject is backlit (like if the sun is behind your subject) or in deep shadow
I love your video and photos! 😍
I just have a quick question. My M35 won’t shoot even if the red light is on. Is there a way for me to fix that? 😅 Thanks in advance!!!
Try winding the film advance wheel until it stops and you can't wind anymore. The flash will only work if the shutter has been cocked 😊 Hope this helps
@@Bonsees Thank you so much for replying! It did work! 🤍🤍🤍
@@kristine8344 great! and anytime 😊
hi! would you know if the exposure counter resets after a particular number of shots? or does it count til 36? mine reset to S after taking around 15-20 something shots (i didnt open the back though)
Mine stays at 36 even I’ve shot up to 38. It usually only resets when the back is opened
great tutorial!!! will the film be ruined if I open the back flap?
If the film is already rewound in its canister, it’s fine. If you accidentally open the back with exposed film, just quickly close it again. You’ll probably ruin one or two photos and the rest will have light leaks. If you don’t close it fast, you’ll ruin them all 😅
Hihi, I recently just got mine and I have a question do we need to wind the film counter every time after taking a picture because I'm kinda confused with the film counter number it kinda stucks sometimes 😂 Sorry if that's a silly question as I'm a film camera beginner 🥺
It’s ok! Yeah, you have to turn the film advanced wheel every time you want to take a photo. Not sure what you mean as “stuck”, but you’ll be unable to turn the counter if the shutter is cocked, you’ll only be able to turn it again when you finished taking a photo
Do you just turn it until you see the next number or dot?
i know i'm pretty late but is there a specific type of battery you used? i can't seem to find the right type for my camera!
This should just be a common AAA battery. I use one from energizer
hello! if i didn’t use the camera for a short while, will it affect the film? im still new to film cameras so your tips will help me a lot! thankyou
Hi, I’ve had film left in my camera for almost 6 months and it was ok. I just store it in a cool, dry place
@@Bonsees thank you for replying! 🥰
@@vividaniaalyssa1877 anytime! 😊
Hi, did you use the flash on your photos outside? is it advisable to just use the flash at all times?
It depends~ I made a short video about it here ruclips.net/user/shortsO-Mr1tEtjeQ?feature=share
Genuine question, do i need to keep rolling the round thingy everytime I take shots?
Yup. That advances the film to the next frame and also cocks the shutter ready for the next shot
Hi!! Do u know what is happening to my camera... I took 4 pictures alr but it is still in the S mode.. is the camera suppose to change the numbers according to the number of photos we took? Like s to 1 to 2 to 3
The number should go up after taking photos. rolling the film advanced wheel to cock the shutter should do this… if you do this and the shutter fires, the film is probably advancing properly but maybe the film counter on your camera is broken
How do you digitalise your photos? Do you just scan?
I scan with an Epson V600 or with a DSLR + Negative Lab Pro depending on how much time I have. But lately I just use the scans I get from my local film lab, they’re not as high quality as I’d like, but I’m too busy with work 😩
I have a question when you unload the film. I took my 36 photos and I see the E, I was rewinding but i dont know if the counter goes down gradually (like E-36-33-30… until 1). Ooooor, my cranck got stuck or the film came off (i cant spin it anymore)
The counter won’t go down gradually, be sure to keep the rewind button at the bottom of the camera pressed down so you won’t get resistance from the gears ⚙️ (this may be why your crank feels stuck). The counter will reset when you open the film door
any tips on how to take photos and when and not to use flash please
I suggest using the flash in doors, or when your subject is in shadow, low-light, or backlit 😄
Great video! I have a little question, I just bought one and I’m not sure how much I should turn the advance wheel after I take a picture. Like 3 times until it stops or just once? Idk if my camera is broken but I thought I only have to turn it once but when I do that, I can’t take a photo. Lol I’m just a little scared I’m doing it wrong.
You’ll have to turn it until it stops, don’t worry too much about it 😆
@@Bonsees omg thank you i thought i was using it wrong and wasting film or smth🤦🏽♀️😂 I actually thought I inserted the film wrong the first time and took it out… is it completely burned? It wasn’t a lot, I guess the only part that’s burned is the film that was exposed to light?
@@paulamezareclusa4575 yes, the part that is no longer in the canister and exposed to light is burnt 😅 but the rest should be fine
@@Bonsees thank you so much for answering so fast but especially for just answering, not a lot of youtubers do that i really appreciate it🥰
@@paulamezareclusa4575 aww no worries! 😊
Quick question:
Do you recommend this for beginners wanting to get into film photography?
If you just wanna try casual film photography and like the disposable camera film look, then yes 😄
Hi, this may be a dumb question, but once I take a picture do I have to wind the shutter to get to the next number to take the next picture? Or should it automatically move to the next number? :)
It’s fully manual so you’ll have to advance the film every time you wanna take the next photo 😅 if you want something a little more automatic, check out the Harman EZ35 (which I already tried but haven’t edited the video yet haha it’s pretty cool too)
@@Bonsees ahh yea Thankyou! I just got confused because I was advancing the film and it was advancing to the dots, then I realised it doesn’t show all the numbers, it goes in an order of 3,6,9,12 with dots in the middle 😅 so I think I’ve wasted about 5 lol
@@Bonsees Because everytime it got to the dots I kept advancing to the next number and was confused why it skipped from 3 to 6 😂
@@mxrxa1804_ oh no! Haha yeah, the dots are there because they can’t really fit all the numbers up to 36 😂 but as long as the shutter gets cocked, then you can take a photo
I'm on my 2nd shot, Mine are also showing DOT and then 3,, is this normal for the 2nd shot??
Hiiiiii I’m using the Kodak M35 right now and it’s suddenly not allowing me to take more pictures eventhough there’s still more shots so is it like the Kodak’s problem of allowing a maximum of 30 shots or is that just mine?
Hmm 🤔 what’s the camera doing that prevents you from taking photos? Can you move the film advance forward? Is it stuck or does it keep going but the shutter doesn’t gets cocked?
Hi! Just wondering where you were able to buy the camera? :)
Got mine from eBay but B&H photo and video carries them now
How does this compare to their regular disposable “fun saver” camera if you know?
You can reuse this many times compared to a one-time disposable. The image quality is fairly similar
Hi ! Does it matter if put the battery before loading the film ? Because when I did that, I loaded the film and I took a picture and the film counter was stuck between S and 1, I retook a picture and now the counter is at 1. Does the first photo is gone ?
So, the frames before 1 are usually burned frames because those get shot on the piece of film that you have to pull out and expose to light so you can attach the film to the take up spool. So i usually wouldn’t count on anything before 1. Sometimes, you might get those “first of the roll” shots where only a portion of the film is exposed with burn lines though
4:33 so say if i wanna take the second pic, i must roll the film winder to 2 right?
Yup, you always have to advance the film for every photo
did it take a long time to ship?? every ebay offer i find says it wont be here until july
Mine took 16 days from Hongkong to Canada
Nowadays it seems like a month wait on eBay is standard 😅
Hi! I love your video ♥️ I'm a new user of m35, and i use kodak gold 200 for the film. I have a question, i already took all the 36 shots but it turns out just 5 photos came out good and the rest is blank. ☹️ I don't know why its blank, is it because I don't use flash everytime? Do i need to use flash everytime i took photos indoor and outdoor? Thank you so much! ♥️
Oh no! That‘s unfortunate. I really recommend using an ISO 400+ film for this camera and using the flash all the time when indoors/in lowlight. Did you mostly use it indoors? In sunny conditions, I don’t think the flash is necessary
@@Bonsees Yes, I mostly use it indoors and I thought its not necessary to use flash when the room is bright enough 😅 Oke I will try to use an iso 400+ film next time, thank you for your advice. And thank you so much for replying so fast. ♥️ Anyway I love your videos, your videos is really helpfull and so easy to understand ♥️
Hello, i just bought my m35, after i finished finish loading my film and winding it, i stupidly open the back to check if i load the film correctly (which i still cannot figure out), will my first or two picture burnt?
Most likely, yes, you’d lose a frame or two but the rest that’s still in the canister should be fine
hello, do u need to use flash for all the photos u take on this camera?
Nope. Just when in lowlight situations like indoors, sunset, night, or when your subject is backlit or in shadow
Hi, which one do you think is the best? Kodak m35 or yashica mf1?
I’d go for the Kodak m35. Cheaper and easier to reload 😁 Yashica MF-1 is mostly for style
After using this, do you prefer the Lomograph camera or this one?
I like them both, but with a slight preference to this type (the same as the Agfa photo, ilford sprite, and dubblefilm show)
Hi! I’m basically illiterate with film cameras but I really wanna try it. I’m so curious how I can get a digital copy of the pictures once it is developed? Do we just scan it or the shop where we get it developed gives us a copy? I hope i don’t sound so dumb T_T
It's all good! I would ask the lab/shop where you get your film developed if they offer a scanning service, which they usually do. You can try scanning at home, which can cost less in the long run, but it can be tricky + time-consuming. For beginners, I would suggest going to a lab that develops and scans film :)
Sorry I have a question, when I’m loading my film I did not check the rewind crank and now I already took 3 photos 😂 and every time I took a photo I wind the film the rewind crank is not turning along how can I solve the problem 😭 thank you
hi, sorry for the late reply, sometimes there might not be enough tension between the film canister and the film rewind crank. If you can turn the film advanced wheel and it stops after 2-3 turns and the shutter engages, then that means your film is still properly loaded
@@Bonsees okay thank you so much I go try it now ✨
@@laladailylife6057 good luck!
@@Bonsees thank you !!!
Hi, can I use Kodak gold 200 with this camera at night or indoors in low light to take photos of friends if I use flash?
Yeah no, I wouldn’t… ISO 400 film already gets underexposed in some of those conditions, in my experience, so lower speed films will probably be worst 😅
you can use Kodak Gold with these in bright sunny days though
@@Bonsees okay thank you for your advice! And thanks so much for making such informative and entertaining videos :)
@@roisinl.3892 my pleasure! Thanks
Hi did you turn on the flash for outdoor picture ?
not for all of them. The selfie at 7:58 has flash though
Did you on the flash when you took pictures outside?
Just on a few, like the selfie and the red toy car
hii i have a question! so basically i just bought one and then I was using it till the nunber shutter went to 3 but then it suddenly went back to S and i have no idea what i did. Is that okay? and what should i do ?? someone pls help
The counter resets if the film door is opened. If you can continue taking photos you should be ok
hi! just a question, i accidentally dropped my film camera :( and the film count went back to S. will the photos that i've taken will be lost or...? and what should i do with the remaining shots.. i have like 5, i think it might be double exposed, i'm not sure tho. thank you!!
It’s fine, just take the remaining shots. I think the mechanism that resets the counter got activated when you dropped it (that counter resets when you open the film door). But since this is a fully manual camera, the film won’t actually rewind if you don’t wind it yourself using the film rewind crank and release button. As long as you didn’t accidentally expose the film to too much light, they won’t be lost. So just continue taking photos until you can’t advance the film anymore 😊
@@Bonsees noted with that, thank you so much!!
@@bellekim6172 glad to help! Keeping shooting film hehe ☺️
Did you use flash for all outdoor photos?
No, just near the end when the sun started to set more
cuteeee
It is a cute camera for sure 👍🏼
the bunnies!!!!
they're so chill 😂
im using flash when i put my roll film is it make it burn?
Sorry I don’t quite understand… did you mean your flash was on when you loaded your film roll in? That should be ok
Hey what would you recommend, Kodak m35 or m38? Is it worth the extra money?
In paper, the M38 has a brighter flash, so if you think you’ll be using the flash a lot, then maybe it’s worth getting the M38. Otherwise, the difference between the two is mostly just aesthetic
Is there a way to adjust shutter speed on this camera?
No, it’s fixed at around 1/125
Hi, just wanna ask if the quality or outcome of photo the depends on the films that you use? Or it doesn't affect the photos at all? I hope you notice. Thank you
Short answer: the film has an effect on the photo
TLDR: There are many variables that affect the final look of the photo. There are gear-related ones and skill-related ones. Personally, I think the top three gear-related ones are:
1. Scanning and editing
2. lens characteristics
3. film characteristics
(in that order)
Like say, a good lens will capture sharp images, but if you use a grainy film and have a bad scanner, the outcome will still be a not-so-sharp photo.
This Kodak M35 has a plastic lens which will lower the image quality. But a good film and good scanning will result in good quality images. This leads me to my short answer, that yeah, the film does affect the final image haha.
@@Bonsees thank you so much. This is very helpful 😊
Hii it’s been a year since u posted this, does it still work? Just curious on the durability of it:) thanks!!
Still works, flash and all 😂
hi may i know how long does it usually take to get the film developed?
Depends on where you get it developed. My local lab develops and scans within one business day, others take longer. You also have to factor in the shipping time if you’re sending it to a non-local lab.
If you develop yourself, developing 1-2 rolls can be around 30 mins, scanning and converting takes longer though.
I'm on my 2nd shot, Mine are also showing DOT and then 3,, is this normal for the 2nd shot??
Yeah, it’s not possible to have all the numbers printed on the gear so some of them will be shown as dots instead
Does anyone know the year Kodak first made this camera?
I don’t actually think Kodak made this camera. A Chinese company (SinoPromise) manufactures these under the Kodak licensing program. Might be hard to track when it was first made
I have this camera, but have issues with only half of the film roll developing. I've tried it with 3 rolls so far. Are you having the same issue? I'm trying to decide if it's worth getting a different camera
I haven’t had any issues with mine, I get up to 38 photos. I’m gonna assume you’re reaching the 36th shot but half of the roll is blank. From the sound it, it’s either a winding failure on the camera past shot 16 or maybe the film counter is wrong and reaches 36 too early. If it’s the latter, just keep advancing the film to take more photos until you feel tension from the film roll and you really can’t advance anymore. That’s what I do for mine, I know the way I load it with film will get me one or two more photos after the counter reaches 36, so I just advance the film and take photos until I can’t advance anymore.
Either way, if you can return the camera, it’s probably easier to just get a replacement
Did you edit the photos?
Yep
hellooo! do i have to wind before every shot?
Yes, you have to use the film advance wheel to take a photo
should the film be advanced every after shot? thank you in advance!
Doesn’t have to be immediately after, but you need to advance it before you can take another photo
got it! thanks! 💗
Hello! Can you please teach me when to use the flash? Is it better if I don't use the flash at all? Btw, we have the same camera and same color! 😍
Haha nice!
Using the flash really depends on the situation. In-doors, I would always use the flash. Outdoors, if it’s sunny, I would suggest using it if your subject is back-lit (sun is behind the subject), if the subject is in shadow (like in a shade of a tree), or if it’s cloudy outside.
@@Bonsees Thank you so much! Such a big help. Thank you! Stay safe! ❤️
@@lindzayconsul9428 glad to help! stay safe as well
How do you get the photos on your computer to put them in your video?
You have to scan the film. The film lab where you get your film developed should be able to do this 🙂 if you wanna do it yourself, check out scanning film tutorials

what would you recommend, kodak kb 10 or M35?
I haven’t used the KB10 but they will probably yield the same image quality given that the KB10 has a plastic 30mm f/8 lens, which is comparable to the M35. If you can find a cheap KB10 in good condition, maybe go for it. Though maybe you should check out the Harman EZ35 first. It’s kinda like a new KB10.
@@Bonsees thank you so much!
I got this camera as a giveaway item. I'm figuring out how to use it
Congrats 🥳
Is better to have the flash on at all times?
Not really. Use it indoors, in dim lighting, and when your subject is in shadow or backlit outdoors. You’ll quickly burn through the flash actuations if you use it all the time
my kodak m35 flash doesn’t work anymore and i always use flash. i changed the battery but the flash still isn’t working. im afraid it’ll change the quality of the photos i took and will be taking
I’m sorry to hear 😵 I’ve been quite lucky with mine. For what it’s worth, you only really need the flash in lowlight or backlit situations. Although it does limit some creative functionality
@@Bonsees well i’m still hoping for the best wahhh 😩 thank u so much for replying i appreciate it soo much!!
@@cojierealista3752 fingers crossed for you🤞🏼🤞🏼, and anytime ☺️
do the pgotos go on your phone ?
You'll have to get the film developed and digitally scanned first before you can send them to your phone 😄
