The Halina Easy Vision Motor S is a handy camera for spontaneous photos and was produced by the Haking company in Hong Kong.
The lens of the 35mm camera is permanently integrated. The exact focal length is not specified, but should be between 28 mm and 35 mm. The focus is fixed. There is no auto focus. A sliding door ensures that the lens is protected from external damage.
This 35 mm model has an integrated exposure meter. The film sensitivity is automatically adjusted by the coding on the film cartridge. Exposure time and aperture are automatically controlled by the camera technology, so that manual adjustments are not necessary.
An integrated flash is of course also available. Red-eye reduction is built in and the flash can be activated via a slider.
Two AA batteries are required for power supply (eBay / Amazon*). Of course, rechargeable models are recommended here.
