The Kodak VR35 K60 is a compact camera for 35mm film. It was offered by Eastman Kodak from 1987 to 1988 and is part of the VR35 series. The cameras were built in a factory in Hong Kong. The body of the camera was made out of plastic. The operation of the camera is quite simple to understand and you don't really need a manual to take pictures.
The photo camera comes with a fixed focal length lens. 35 mm is the focal length of the lens. The maximum aperture is f/4.5. There is no possibility to change the focus, the focus is fixed and the same for every picture.
The 35 mm camera has a built-in light meter. The exposure is set automatically by the Kodak VR35 K60. The sensitivity is set by the DX encoding of the film cartridge. The camera does not have a setting option for film speed, aperture or shutter speed.
Sufficient light is provided by the camera's built-in flash. The readiness of the Sensalite flash can be read via two lights on the back. The camera requires two AA batteries (eBay / Amazon*). Here, of course, you can reach for rechargeable ones. You can't take pictures with it without batteries, as it needs power to transport the films, among other things.
Films for the Kodak VR35 K60
What is needed for the Kodak VR35 K60 is 35mm film. Even though the camera is over 30 years old, 35mm films are still made today. Possible films for the Kodak VR35 K60 are the Kodak Ultramax 400* for color photos and the Ilford XP2 Super* for B&W photos.
After each shot, the film is automatically rewound. A small indicator tells you if the motor is doing its job. A counter on the top of the camera shows the number of pictures taken. Which type of film is in the camera can be seen through the window in the rear panel. Under no circumstances should the camera be opened before the film has been wound back into the cartridge. If you open the back before that, it is very likely that the photos will be lost.
