Kodak Star 1075z

The Kodak Star 1075z is a camera with zoom. It was manufactured by Kodak and presented in the 90s. This model was produced in a factory in Malaysia. The compact camera comes with a plastic body. It can be used without a manual and was aimed more at beginners and occasional users.

A fixed lens is installed in the camera. You don’t have to focus manually with the 35mm camera, as there is an autofocus system. The zoom range goes from 38 to 60 mm. You can select the corresponding focal length with a toggle switch.

The 35mm camera has a built-in exposure meter. The exposure settings are automatically controlled by the camera’s electronics. The sensitivity is read out via the DX coding on the film cartridge.

The Kodak Star 1075z has a built-in flash. It can be turned off if desired. The automatic flash prevents the occurrence of red-eye.

The 35mm camera has a built-in self-timer and a thread for a tripod. There is no connection for a cable release or a radio shutter release.

The camera requires a CR123A battery (eBay / Amazon*).

Films for the Kodak Star 1075z

What film format is the Kodak Star 1075z designed for? The camera exposes 35mm format film. 35mm films are still produced today and can be developed in most labs. One possibility for B&W images is Ilford Delta 400*. A possible film for color images is the Fujifilm Superia 400*.

The color film is designed to be developed using the C-41 process. This process is offered by most professional photo labs. It is possible to develop 35mm color film at most drugstores in Germany, for example. The black and white film must be developed in a developer, such as Rodinal or D-76.

The exposure area of the photo camera is 24 mm x 36 mm. Thus, at least 36 pictures fit on a normal roll of 35mm film. The film is transported automatically. Rewinding into the cartridge is also done by the integrated motor. Only when the light-sensitive material is back in the cartridge may you open the camera back.
