Carena AF 35M

The Carena AF 35M is a snapshot camera. It was sold by Photo Porst in Germany in the 1980s. Photo Porst was one of the largest photo retailers in the Federal Republic of Germany at that time. In addition to cameras, the West German company also sold lenses and photo accessories.

The camera comes with a fixed lens. 35 mm is the focal length of the lens. The maximum aperture is f/3.4. The focus of the lens is fixed and cannot be changed.

The camera has a built-in light meter. The exposure settings are set automatically by the camera. There is a built-in flash for shooting in low light conditions.

Films for the Carena AF 35M

The Carena AF 35M requires photographic film to take pictures. More precisely, 35mm films are needed. The 35mm format is very common, so even today there are some manufacturers and many developing labs. A good choice for color and black and white pictures is the Kodak Portra 400* and the AgfaPhoto APX 400*.

The development process for the color film is the C-41 process. This development process is available at almost every photo lab. The black and white film goes into a black and white developer.

Of course, developing B&W film is also available at many photo labs. The advantages of developing at home are full control over the images, and the cost is also lower than the cost of developing in a professional photo lab, especially if several films are developed per month.

The film in the camera is transported automatically. The power needed for the camera comes from two AA batteries (eBay / Amazon*).
