Kodak 35 EF

The Kodak 35 EF is a snapshot camera. It was produced by Kodak and introduced in the 80s. The housing is made of black plastic. The camera was aimed at amateur photographers. The model was built in Japan.

The camera comes with a fixed lens. The lens is called “Kodak Ektanar f4.0 35mm Lens”. The lens has a focal length of 35 mm. The focus of the lens is fixed.

The correct exposure cannot be measured by the 35mm camera because it does not have an exposure meter. The exposure time is fixed. The only adjustment possibility concerns the film speed. Here you have the choice between ISO 100/200 and ISO 400/800.

There is a built-in flash for taking pictures in low light conditions. The flash of the Kodak 35 EF is powered by two AAA batteries (eBay / Amazon*). Without batteries you can also take pictures with the Eastman Kodak camera.
