The Halina AF810 is a camera from Haking. It was made in the 80s in Hong Kong. It was sold as a version with a red housing. The body is made out of plastic.
The camera is equipped with a lens with a fixed focal length. The focal length can not be changed and is 34 mm. The biggest aperture opening of the lens is f/3.8. The Halina AF810 incorporates an autofocus system for focusing the lens.
The 35 mm camera has a built-in sensor for measuring the precise exposure. The aperture and shutter speed can be set by the Halina AF810 automatically. There is a built-in flash for taking pictures in insufficient light.
Power is supplied by two AA batteries (eBay / Amazon*). You can easily find this type of battery online or you may already have some in your house. One set of batteries is usually enough for a good number of shots, as the power requirement is not as high as with digital cameras.
Films for the Halina AF810
According to the instructions, the Halina AF810 is loaded with 35mm film. 35mm film is still made and is developed without problems at most photo labs.
Colour photos can be taken with this camera in conjunction with the Kodak Portra 400*. The AgfaPhoto APX 100* is a solid choice for black and white photography. Both films produce solid images with the Asian-made camera.
Of course, there are other films that can be used with the camera. These include Foma, Fujifilm and Rollei. There are also suitable films from Adox or Lomography.
It is important not to open the back when the film is in the camera. The film material is very sensitive to light. Direct exposure to light can destroy the pictures already taken.
Only when the film has been wound back into the cartridge may the back cover be opened and the film roll removed. The film should then be developed promptly to achieve the best possible results.
