Kodak Star 875AF

The Kodak Star 875AF is a compact camera from the 90s. The model was produced in a factory in Thailand. The target group was aimed at beginners and occasional users. The operation of the camera is very simple and a manual is rarely needed.

A fixed lens is installed in the 35mm camera. The 35mm camera is equipped with autofocus. The Ektanar Lens will probably have a focal length in the 30 and 35mm range. The camera does not have a zoom function.

The Kodak Star 875AF comes with a light meter. Exposure settings are automatically controlled and adjusted by the camera. You can’t choose aperture and shutter speed yourself.

A flash is built in for low light pictures. The power source of the 35mm photo camera is 2x AA batteries (eBay / Amazon*).

Films for the Kodak Star 875AF

Exposures are made in the Kodak Star 875AF cartridges with 35mm film. 35mm film is still made and is developed without problems at most photo labs. A color film for the 35mm camera would be the Kodak Ultramax 400*. A possible film for black and white images is the Ilford Delta 400*. Both films are good for everyday use and do well according to test reports.

The color film is designed to be developed using the C-41 process. The C-41 process is used by most professional photo labs. Most drugstore chains in Germany offer color film development. Black and white film can be processed in a black and white developer such as Rodinal.

The Kodak Star 875AF exposes an area of 24 mm x 36 mm. Thus, 36 exposures are usually possible per film (135-36). The film in the 35mm camera is automatically advanced to the next frame. When the end of the film roll is reached, the film is automatically wound back in the cartridge.

The compact camera is no longer in production. Prices for a used copy depend on the condition. The new price was not in the upper spectrum even then. For this reason, and because it is also not a top model in terms of functions, you will get a copy for as little as 5-10 Euros.
