The Kodak Instamatic 355X is a viewfinder camera. It was built in the seventies (1971 – 1977) in Germany by Kodak AG.
The Kodak Instamatic 355X has a fixed 43 mm f/11 lens and a CdS cell for metering. The shutter can stay open from 1/300 s down to 30 seconds.
The connection for a cable release and a tripod are handy especially for long exposures. There is also a socket for a Magicube.
Unfortunately, the necessary 126 films are no longer available for the Instamatic 355X. Unfortunately, there is no alternative. Therefore, you can only use it as a decorative object today.
