The Kodak 35 MD is a snapshot camera. It was introduced by Eastman Kodak in the 1980s and sold until the early 1990s. The Kodak 35 MD was also marketed under the name “Kodak S350“. A similar model is the “Kodak VR35 K40“. It is similar to it in terms of functionality, but the position of the frame counter and the LED for flash readiness is different.

The lens of the camera cannot be replaced. The name “Kodak Ektanar f/4.5” adorns the lens. The lens has a focal length of 35 mm. There is no possibility to change the focus.

The 35mm photo camera has a built-in exposure meter. The exposure settings are set automatically. The photographer cannot influence the settings. The sensitivity of the film can be read by the electronics via the DX code on the film cartridge.

There is a built-in flash for low light photography. The camera requires two AA batteries (eBay / Amazon*). The film is automatically advanced and also rewound by the 35mm camera.
