The 35mm camera lens is permanently integrated. The exact focal length is not given, but should be between 28 mm and 35 mm. The aperture is given as f/8. The built-in autofocus system ensures sharp images at all times. A protective sliding door keeps the lens clean and safe from damage.
The Haking Vision II E has an integrated exposure meter. Both aperture and exposure time are set automatically, eliminating the need for manual intervention.
The model also offers a built-in flash. A tripod connection and a self-timer are not available. In return, a wrist strap can be attached to the device.
Two AA batteries (eBay / Amazon*) power the camera, although rechargeable batteries are recommended.
Film selection for the Haking Vision II E
According to the user manual, the Haking Vision II E uses 35mm film. Such films can still be found from various providers and can be developed.
Good film choices for this compact camera include the Kodak Ultramax 400* for color photography and the Ilford Delta 100* for black and white photography. Brands such as Lomography, Fujifilm, Rollei, Adox and Foma also have suitable films on offer.
Color films are developed using the C-41 process, which is available in many photo labs and drugstores.
The negatives of the Haking Vision II E have the dimensions 24 mm x 36 mm. A motorized system ensures that the film continues to be transported after each shot. A counting display informs about the number of already taken pictures.
When the film is fully exposed, the device automatically rewinds it. Only then should the camera housing be opened to remove the film and have it developed. Premature opening with film not rewound could result in light damage.
