  • The Kodak M35 is one of a new wave of plastic reusable 35mm film cameras from various companies. I picked one up back in the summer, and have really enjoyed taking photos with it - in this video I give my impressions of the camera and show some sample photographs I've taken with it.
    Some gentle post-processing has been applied to the photographs shown.

    Well, I’m convinced. I’m getting one. I take too many pointless pictures on my phone, I love the idea of having to limit the amount and make it count.
    Beautiful photos btw!

    I have a question, how do you scan these film photos out to put them in your video? I always wanted to get into film camera but i'm afraid the scanning process can be quite hard or tiring

      Hi, it's usually possible for a film lab to scan the photos after developing them - the lab I use offers a choice of resolutions for only a little extra money, and they email me the files directly :)

      You can get 35mm negative scanners or flatbed scanners can do it but it's best to get the lab to do it for you.

    Lovely video! I've bought the newer version which is the M38 and I can say they both perform exactly the same but with stronger flash on the new one. I didn't quite like how cheaply they made it but I guess you get for what you paid for right? This camera really teach you just composing and framing with it. Plus with beautiful colour films makes it even more enjoyable to use it.
    Still, I don't quite like this camera for how basic it is. If you want a camera with focusing, zoom and self timer, tripod mount, red eye reduction flash, get a used point n shoot film camera. They work great.

      I agree, I thought this was an interesting video because I thought the quality of the pics were awful (worse than disposals) and my camera seemed to be manufactured poorly and stops at ~24-30 shots
      edit: to clarify i mean the quality of the pics that I took. his look great, maybe it was the difference in the film used

    I like digital cameras but i do love style cameras. My mom had a real good one when she went to college for a class she took. Sadly its hard to find such good film cameras. Trying on amazon but almost everything is digital and those that say their 35mm arent. I wish local stores in area sold more cameras like it but most are very simple. Debating about getting kodak through amazon or not.

    Beautiful pictures! May I ask how was your keeper ratio with that camera since it does not perform any kind of light metering I suppose. I have always thought that just shooting blind like that would make you waste a lot of shots…

    • @CarefulCharlie
      @CarefulCharlie  2 года назад +6

      Thanks so much! I'd say on average with this camera there have been 3-5 photos per roll that I've been properly happy with how they turned out. Of course there's more than a fair share of shots that don't come out usable at all, but you can expect at least a third of the roll to be passable. I think the more you treat it like a disposable and shoot it in bright conditions or with the flash, and don't overthink it, the better results you'll get - really, I'd advise to underthink if possible, just whip it out and shoot, and more often than not you'll be pleasantly surprised when you get your scans back...

      S means start. It’s currently on the “0th” frame, indicating there’s no film or the film has not been taken up on the spool correctly.

      Film labs will be able to develop your film and scan the images for you. A quick google should tell you if there are any places local to you, or there are others you can mail your film to for the same service
