The camera has a fixed 33 mm lens, which cannot be changed. There is no way to adjust the focus. A sliding cover protects the lens.

This camera does not have built-in exposure metering. However, a slider on the front allows film sensitivity to be selected, including ISO 100, 200 and 400. The aperture changes depending on the ISO value selected, while the shutter speed remains constant at around 1/125 second.

A built-in flash ensures good pictures in unfavorable light. This can be activated with a slide switch underneath.

The camera is powered by two AAA batteries (eBay / Amazon*). These are mainly required for the flash. Without flash they are not absolutely necessary.

It offers neither a tripod thread nor a self-timer or a date print function.

Film recommendations for the Revue 150 CF

The Revue 150 CF works with 35mm film. They are still popular and can be developed in most photo labs. The Kodak Ultramax 400* is particularly suitable for color photography, while the Ilford Delta 400* is recommended for black and white photography. Other 35mm film manufacturers are Foma, Lomography, Adox and Rollei.

The color film is processed using the C-41 process used by most service providers. Black and white film can be processed either in labs or at home with the right equipment. Instructions for this can be found online.

A normal roll of film can hold about 36 frames. The photographer has to advance the film manually, and rewinding is also done manually using a knob and crank on the camera body.
