The Kodak Star 935 is a snapshot camera. It was produced by Kodak from 1991 to 1993. The housing is black and made of plastic. On the side you can find an eyelet for a camera strap. Sometimes you can find it without the name “Star” as Kodak 935. The model was built in Japan.
The lens of the 35mm camera cannot be exchanged. The name of the lens is “Kodak Ektanar”. The focal length is 35mm and the maximum aperture is f/4.5. The focus of the lens is fixed.
The 35 mm camera has a built-in light meter. It is designed for films with a sensitivity of ISO 100, ISO 200 and ISO 400. The film sensitivity is determined via the DX code. You can’t set the sensitivity manually. In general, you can’t really adjust anything on the camera. The aperture and exposure time are set automatically by the camera.
In low light conditions, the built-in flash can be used. This is folded upwards. The mechanism otherwise serves as protection for the lens. There is a ready light for the flash on the top. The camera’s power source is a CR123A battery (eBay / Amazon*).
