The Kodak 835AF is a simple 35mm camera. It is made of black plastic and was built in a factory in the Asian country of Hong Kong.
The lens is fixed; there is no zoom. The flash is also fixed to the camera. There are no adjustment possibilities. It is therefore very easy to use and is well suited for beginners.
The flash fires automatically and cannot be switched off. A light on the back indicates that the flash is ready. After each exposure, the film is transported further in the Kodak 835AF.
The value of a used copy today is a few euros. So it is not difficult to get hold of a copy of the 35mm camera.
