A couple things: you don't realize how many shots 72 really is until you want to change the film you're using, and also if you really like half-frame you should eventually look into a Pen F for a much higher quality option
things to consider are: - labs might have trouble scanning the small negatives - small resolution due to the size of the negative - I believe it doesn't have a good aperture so use higher iso film
I’ve had this camera for a few months and the lab I take it too have no issues scanning :) Standard 35mm film, so you just end up with two photos on each scan.
@@alecfrancis2084i’m planning on buying this, but i’ve heard most of the plastic body reusable disposables can’t shoot more than 3 rolls without breaking. is that true?
I've never used half-frame cameras, but I know, that the lab I usually give my film to, scans unusual frame sizes on 35mm films (anything that is not 24x36) for a double price. BTW, this "Kodak" camera is merely an overpriced plastic toy which cannot really be used for anything more serious than a weekend party (same about other modern pseudo-Kodak cameras). I've seen similar cameras without a Kodak label much cheaper for the same quality (dunno if they have a half-frame version). IMHO, if you are looking for a decent film camera, better look at the used cameras market where you can find a much better one dirt-cheap. Or find some old one for free at your relatives' or friends'.
My opinion is that if you shoot film, you should buy the pure machanical bodies, which is better in terms of both image quality and built quality because film is already too expensive
thing is im doing film studies in school, and for our coursework yr 10 we need to create 1-2 minutes trailer of a film we make up. I dont want to get massive, expensive equipment for that... do you recommend anything then??
@@FilmingAvaAre you talking film as in moving pictures, or about the film photography medium? I’m hardly an amateur videographer but you can borrow good equipment for however long you may need it from dedicated sites and stores or even your own school, saving you a lot of money in the process. Alternatively, second-hand equipment tends to reduce in price since it's been used - depending on your needs and where you look, you can find equipment that has been well looked after and nearly equal in quality to the newer stuff. In any case, unless your school specifies the quality of the film, you don't have to go full out. Ask around with your lecturers and colleagues on how best to go around this
Nah, I have canon Eos 650 . It allows me to put all newer canon EF lenses, which are usually superior to vintage lenses in terms of image quality and have AF. It is not purely mechanical, the experience shooting is the same as Digital SLR, quality is excellent paired with modern lenses. So I am not against purely mechanical bodies, they have their unique experience, but can't beat the features and reliability in focusing (not cheap one ) AF electronic bodies.
I have the original Canon from the 60’s. It was made to save people money to get more shots. However, unless you develop your own film it is kind of useless. You can get some cool shots that are interesting if you keep the shutter count memorized so you know which pictures will be in the same 35mm frame as it is a half frame.
The picture quality is about what you'd expect from a film format 1/2 that of conventional 35mm shot through a plastic lens. It's a neat little novelty camera with acceptable performance. I'd say it's almost as good as an old 126 film camera. With the high cost of 35mm film, half frame is twice as economical. In all, it works fine for what it is. A novelty camera.
My dad's mother would have a camera and it would be a film camera. She wasn't a great photographer by any means. She didn't even know photography. She could take the same image over and over and she just liked taken photos. It was one of those old cameras that had film. It was almost like I don't know. What's from like nineteen ninety seven. I like the d three personally nikon d three I love nikon
This is Exactly my dad😂 He loved taking our pictures and he took most of them laying down and we could see half of his body in the pictures lol we still have that camera it was around from late 90s and it worked till like late 2000s.
It's not LOMO. The famous LC-A was simple but it still had exposure and focus controls and an electronic shutter. The original LOMO would also make fully mechanical cameras such as Smena (literally "Next Generation", early models also made by BelOMO in Minsk) and Lubitel (literally "Amateur", for 120 film) that can be great for a beginner to feel what film photography is. And all (or almost all) original LOMO cameras had glass lenses.
Dunno man, seems like a plastic toy with a lens. There's absolutely zero control other than the film you choose, I get it's a point and shoot but come on
omg. why ppl keep pushing this plastic crap... extremely expensive piece of plastic trash. u will save nothing as picture quality will be atrocius. even as a toy is way overpriced.

Purely mechanical cameras are not „better“ why would they be better? They expose film to light. The camera body doesn’t matter

Would have got it if I didn’t have a perfectly working SLR 35mm film camera with adjustable lenses.
110 cartridge film is the same stock as 35mm, only it has sprocket holes along 1 edge only; instead of both edges in the 35mm stock
This is not true at all, 110 film is significantly smaller than 135 film.
It’s also not relevant to this video as this isn’t a 110 camera.
That would be 126 cartridge or "Instamatic".

Half frame!? 😱
Kinda reminds me of the super 35 idea
What’s it like trying to develop it being half frame
Kodak cameras need films that are 400 ISO and above. Their photos always seem underexposed.
Do you have more tips? Thanks❤
woah! this will be perfect for a trip..where can I get it?
Amazon
For 50 buck
Buy a pen ee Kodak makes garbage
@@RicketyQuickitybut Pen costs up to 100$ and its hard to get with working lightmeter
How do you switch to bottom half
Wondering the exact same thing! Were you able to figure it out?
@@ashleymendez6785 it might be automatic, now that i think of it
the frame is cut in half vertically, not horizontal. it auto advances
Agfa is bit cheaper, its 37$,while kodak is 45-50$

Minimum price of a roll will be??
Depends what film you're buying. Budget film can be found around $10ish and higher quality film around $20-$25
8-11$
Music in the back?
How do you develop the pics?
take it to a lab. If you dont have one near you, you could always send it to a lab. A good one i've heard about is The Darkroom Photo Lab
iPhone app
what tf do mean? It is a chemical process.@@ddrnold
Can we shoot video in this camera?
its a film camera....
boys: guys we don't go anywhere to photo things
Price ?
The sage is $47.60 idk the other prices
You can buy agfa Half frame, its a bit cheaper 37$
How do you switch iso?
In film photography, iso is a factor of what film you use. Also known as film speed
Only 90€ on eBay. 🤩
Can anyone suggest a similar type of film camera that has a self timer feature?
maybe Canon ee or olympus Pen?
Love 🎞
Tell me if there is any camera that look like this and also record videos
anyone know of a similar camera that is not half frame? it would take me a whole year to get through that many photos
The Kodak Ultra F9 Film Camera seems to be a similar point and shoot but full frame instead of half
@@frenchvanilla343 Thanks a bunch! I'm highly considering it :)
Agfa also sells some pretty cheaply
Except for the fact that it’s $50
For the same price you could get a brand new or good conditioned Canon power shot sd800 is digital elph it's real good camera
Did you just say 72 photos?!!!
Yes. Its half frame photos so you get twice as much pictures for a roll of film
