The Haking Flash 35 P is a very simple 35mm camera. It comes without a lot of setting options and is therefore well suited for beginners.
Camera functionalities
The camera's non-interchangeable 35mm lens offers a fixed focal length range that is believed to be between 28mm and 35mm, although specific details are not given. An autofocus function is missing; instead, the model relies on a focus-free system with a fixed focus setting. To protect the lens from possible damage and contamination, there is a sliding door.
The Haking Flash 35 P does not offer any setting options for exposure. Aperture and shutter speed are likely to be the same for every shot.
In addition, the model is equipped with an integrated flash, although functions for reducing "red-eye" or a tripod socket and self-timer are missing. As a practical feature, however, a wrist strap can be attached to the camera.
Another special feature is the panorama mode of the camera. This will crop part of the image. This creates images with a panoramic look.
The camera requires two AAA batteries (eBay / Amazon*) to operate, although it is advisable to use rechargeable batteries. The batteries
Movie options for the Haking Flash 35 P
According to the user manual, the Haking Flash 35 P works with 35mm films, which are still available from various manufacturers and can be developed.
Suitable films for this snapshot camera are, for example, the Kodak Gold 200* for color images and the Ilford Delta 100* for monochrome images. But alternatives from Lomography, Fujifilm, Rollei, Adox and Foma are also compatible.
Most imaging labs offer to develop these films. Prints can be created directly from the negatives or they can be digitized in order to use them in file form.
The film is transported manually with the help of a thumb wheel on the back after each exposure. The number of recordings already made is displayed on a counter at the top. A window on the back allows you to view the inserted film.
When the film ends, it is wound back into its cartridge using a crank, before the camera is opened to remove it and have it processed. Under no circumstances should the camera be opened before the film has been rewound to avoid damage from exposure to light.
