Friends!
We're back. I hope y'all are doing well. I finally had a chance to take my Kodak Ektar H35 for a lonnnng spin! I love it. This re-usable point & shoot is so worth the $50 that I spent. It's a HALF-FRAME camera so basically you get twice the amount of exposures from whatever roll you put in. 24 = 48 and a roll of 36 = 72 frames!!
The H35 is lightweight and pretty compact and that's because it's plastic. So it's not super durable but easy to use. The design is beautiful, classic point & shoot look from the '60s.
Anyway, I hope you like the images, and let me know if you've tried it or were thinking about it.
I hope you enjoy the tips and don't forget to subscribe to my NEW newsletter!

    No question is a dumb question. Each time you press the shutter, you've taken a single image. You must advance the film forwad to the next frame (by cocking the "film advance" dial after each photo that you take) or you risk taking a multiple exposure. Your image counter will continue going up til you reach 72 exposures (based on a traditional roll of 36 exposures). Rinse and repeat. 🙏🏽👍🏼

    Raédience! Thanks for making some time to hear what I'm rambling about.😄🙏🏽 Some tips when starting out... To first answer your question about getting better quality, I'm assuming you're referring to image quality? That would have to do a lot more with your lens selection/ exposure and lighting of your scene... But for now maybe the focus can be... 1. Spend the least amount of money on a film camera. (Ideally a reusable point & shoot) 2. Buy the cheapest film you can find (online or in-person). Black & white tends to be cheaper in general. 3. Practice as much as possible Film is inheirtly expensive, so pace yourself . That's why I highly recommend the half-frame cameras. You save and you can become very creative👌🏽 Hit me up with any other specific questions you may have.

    Andrew! That's great news. Congrats on making the leap into film photography. You'll love film photography if you prioritize process and progress over your esrliest results. Testing film stocks would be my only recommendation at this stage of the game. On the colour side of things I would say go with the cheapest film stocks first (why waste money when practicing?) So, at the time of writing this that would be Fuji Colour 200 (3pack 36 exp. - $60 CDN) . As for BW film, Kentmere 100 Pan (6.99 CDN per roll 36 exp.). Remember, this are price reccos, though I do like both film stocks, as they do perform well in most conditions. We can talk about colours, style etc on another post. Get your reps in with the 72 exposures, have fun. Let a local film lab do all the scanning for now. IMO, you can always scan later down the road when you have lots of practice under your belt. I hope you find this info helpful. Keep us updated on your experience shooting film! ✌🏽

Once you finish shooting all the photos on your roll of film, you'll need to rewind the roll. (Instructions on youtube). 2. Find a camera story that scans and develops film. Google a place close to you. 3. Once they scan and develop they will email you the photos from that roll. 4. You will now have jpegs that you can post online.😊 I hope that helps! Let me know.

    Thank you Thank you Thank you for the graphic / diagram showing us _how_ the Portrait / Landscape thing works. When I was watching the official introductions of this camera they just told us "It's a Portrait camera." I had no idea what that meant. Generally, one mistake uploaders make is that they try to show us how very easy everything is, by making a 1 minute clip: _That's how easy it is!_ They may mean well, but just confuse beginners by rushing with that infuriating, jerky editing and not explaining things properly. I've watched at least 5 clips devoted to this camera and is by far the most helpful. Subscribed.

    Hey Daniel, thanks for watching. 🙏🏽 You have a lot of film stock choices when shooting a day at the beach. If it's bright and sunny you'll want a low ISO film (ISO 100 /200) KODAK GOLD 200 is great for that plus it produced warm colours... if it's overcast at the beach you'll need more light so film with an ISO of 400 will do the trick (think Kodak Portra 400) other companies have 400 films, so do your research. As for night photography, use Portra 800 or Cinestill 800t . Hope this helps. It will be expensive but worth it in the end hopefully 🙏🏽

    I’m really considering getting one of these, or the newer H35N. I think you could get some cool sets of photos, where you take a picture of a subject in a wider frame and then take a second of the same subject but closer in from a different angle, focus on something that makes it stand out. Two photos of the same thing but slightly different perspectives. Idk, might end up being lame but I’m trying to explore my creative side a bit more and just shoot. I spend too much time worrying about if something is “worthy” of taking a photo but with a half frame just go for it right?!

    Timmy! First off, thanks for watching🙏🏽 Your creative instincts are correct. Get out there and make images of anything you find interesting. That's the beauty of the the half-frame camera. Point and shoot! I would recommend this model over the brand new one since it's about $15 cheaper. You can put that towards a roll of film. Kodak 200 or Portra 400 will do just fine. Both are colour or go bw, save a few more bucks and get kentmere 400. Either way. Have fun!! Keep me posted on your results. 🙏🏽

    Hey Anacayse! Thanks for watching the video. 400 ISO is a good all-around film speed that can be used for sunlit days as well as photos indoors, or at night. Your shots shouldn't be over exposed. I believe the f-stop is f/9 which will help to not overexpose your roll. You should be good. Did you shoot on a sunny day?🙏🏽

For each frame, you'll need to turn the film advance wheel until it stops, this cocks the shutter. Now, simply press the shutter button. You'll have to advance the film every time you've pressed the shutter. Hope this helps.🙏🏽

  • @tahaphoto

    Great question. The H35 is a half- frame camera! Means you get double the exposures (36 is 72 images on a roll). Also, the H35 has an aperture of f8 working a little better in lower light situations than the Kodak f9 (you guessed it, f9 aperture). However, the K-f9 has a slightly faster shutter speed (1/120s vs 1/100s on thr H35).. so really, it comes down to ideal film speed and aesthetic preference. Either cam, I would choose 200 film speed. ie Kodak color plus or portra 160 ($$$). Both are fun.... you just get waaay more creative wiggle room with the H35. Hoe this helps!🙏🏽😊

So I would recco Kodak Portra 800 or Fuji Superia 400 if you can get your hands on some. Fuji has a cooler look than Kodak but you may like that. Experimentation will answer all your questions.

If so, what film stock did you load into the H35 camera? 3. Please share the details of the film stock you loaded into the H35 camera. 4. Film stock example: Film name: Kodak ColorPlus 200 Number of exposures included: 24 The Kodak H35 takes 35mm film. Either 24 exposures or 36 exposures per roll depending on what you prefer. Now the next question is did you load the film roll correctly?

And Kodak Aerocolor IV also works very nice. For black and white I use pulled to 50iso AGFA Aviphot 200. The smaller the grain, the better.

    Hey Michael, thanks for watching! The simplicity of use of the H35 especially if you're just starting out (on a budget) is quite appealing. Can you share a few awesome, cheaper half - frame cameras? What half frame cam are you currently using?🙏🏽
