The camera model Edixa 35 Motor Flash. It comes from a Haking factory. Visually, it is very reminiscent of rangefinder cameras, even if its capabilities are more limited. It was manufactured at a Hong Kong facility and also sold as the Halina MW 35G.
It has a 38mm fixed focal length and a static focus - the autofocus is not integrated. There's also no light meter on board, meaning only aperture can be manually adjusted. It has three options for the aperture setting and two for the ISO sensitivity: ISO 100 and ISO 400. The shutter speed is fixed and is probably around 1/125 second.
A highlight is the flash integrated into the camera. A tripod thread on the underside also offers stability, and the shutter release has a thread for a cable release.
It draws its energy from two AA batteries (eBay / Amazon*), which primarily supply the flash. An LED indicates when the flash is ready to use.
Films options for the Edixa 35 Motor Flash
The device is designed for 35mm film. Despite digital dominance, such films are still available and can be developed, allowing for continued use of the camera.
Popular film choices for this camera include Kodak T-Max 100* for black and white imaging and Kodak Ultramax 400* for color imaging. Both types of film have convinced in quality tests.
Color film uses the C-41 process for processing, a standard process in many labs. Choosing the right developer is important for black and white images. There are instructions for this directly in the film packaging.
A format of 24 mm x 36 mm is exposed with the Edixa 35 Motor Flash. This means that a standard film with 36 frames allows just as many shots. An automatic winding device is also integrated, as is a counter that provides information about the number of pictures taken so far.
