Gary Naka Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 I looks like an Instamatic. Pitty the old film cartridges are no longer available. That is what made them easy to use for the average person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Seaman Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 It's a good job it has a "built in lens". But making it half frame seems like a strange decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niels - NHSN Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Half frame is one way to mitigate the problem of high cost of film, but I think I could find a working Olympus Pen EE-2 for less than $50. Niels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeBu Lamar Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 It's a good job it has a "built in lens". But making it half frame seems like a strange decision. I think the half frame is to save cost of film. Unlike before if you shoot half frame you save the cost of the roll of film and perhaps a little bit on the C41 processing but you have to pay the same for the printing with RA4 process. Today the cost of the roll of film is high and the C41 processing is a bit high but the cost of scanning and printing digitally are cheap so it means significant saving.

c_watson1 Posted June 3, 2022 Author Share Posted June 3, 2022 Anything that keeps the labs open is fine by me! Casual/rookie film shooters should love these Kodak cameras. Gateway drug... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
