- Reto just released the Kodak Ektar H35, a half-frame camera that gifts you with double the exposures a regular 35mm one could. 72 photos in 1 roll of film is absolutely incredible (in Draymond Green's voice). This retails for $50 and comes in 4 different colors. This is a great beginner film camera to start with!

I love how their whole channel is them having fun filming and taking pictures with different cameras
Really love that you included the competition, looked so fun! A lot of reviewers don't go into this sort of real-life situation.
Dayum. With the price of film, 72 exposures is a godsend. And those photos with sunlight are so fire.
Such a great video! I love seeing all your different points of view, ya'll each have such a great eye. I just got one of these cameras and I can't wait to be us it as my travel camera and play with trying to create diptychs!
This was such a fun time and the video and photos turned out dope. Thanks for including me, Chris!
It was an honor to have you on! Great job changing it up
love all the classic mini coopers! yall hit the jackpot with the cars and with the photos!
I was looking for a review of this camera and this is the first one that I watched. Great video.😊 Subscribed!
Amazing content..always entertaining,and helpful info. Happy I found this channel💯✌🏼👍🏼
So incredibly happy you reviewed this! Received mine in the same sand colour last week and I love it so much. The half-frame is bringing a new joy to me that other plastic/toy reusable cameras cannot do so far. I'm already ordering another one in sage :)
Beli di tokped atau shopee? Bagi rekomendasi tokonya, kak. Aq mau beli buat hadiah. Minta rekomendasi warna juga, buat cewek.
Di indo masih susah bgt yaa aku liat di tokped adanya PO 13 minggu :’)
Love the 2 at 8:33 They work so well together.
Fantastic video, lots of fun and not super serious, but packed with info! Kudos.
This was such a fun shoot! Loved all the shots, but Chris' idea to take a photo of everyone was amazing. Subscribed!
Subscribed, thank you! I’m looking for a great review of this camera and glad to came across your video 🙏🏼
What an entertaining video! As a CZcamsr and an indy filmmaker, I really appreciate the quality of the editing, music and content and, as a film fan, thank you for a great review of the camera!
Great shots!! Love the vibes in this video and your friends are hilarious. I'm currently getting my Kodak Ektar shots developed and can't wait to see how they come out. I used ISO 200 film tho that I got from Amazon. I kept using the flash because that's what I kept hearing it from people.
Oh my god this video was everything i needed! I bought one recently and was super confused about how to choose the best film option for certain situations (i started using film recently with automatic cameras, so i'm still learning about this world haha), so your video saved me a lot! Super great video, congratulations!!
Hi i just got it and still confused. Since it's half frame, Do i need to advanced it per each shot just like normal film slr?
@@user-iv3wx1dr3r Yes! The half-frame camera advances only half a shot, so you can do just as the normal slr :)
This was a fun video! Like seeing how each person photographs differently. Thanks for the tips at the end too!
amazing review! So fun to see how it performs with different photographers shots
Fun overview of the camera and the accompanying shots were very good. Even the slightly blurry/overexposed ones.
Price sounds pretty reasonable, I think I will look into getting one. I will say that being able to buy this eliminates quite a lot of worry since it is new and is much more likely to actually work. Unlike buying some used camera with its undetermined functionality. Currently I am using an AGAT 18k for my 1/2 frame photos. That one is tiny, has a bit of exposure and focus control. But it always feels like it's grinding itself to pieces every time I use it.
Just found your channel, have watched a couple of your videos so far and am now subscribed. You share good info and seem to have a great outlook on photography. Thanks!
This is why you want just slightly more mid level stuff that is actually servicable. Got my eyes on a FED-3 which can be had for the same amount of dough as that Ektar thing.
Definitely getting one man. Just what I need some days. Thanks for the review.
Just bought one halfway thru watching your vid! Thanks Chriss!
Thank you so much for this video. I needed to hear the pros and cons.
The vibes of this video make me want to get out and shoot! I am curious how many flashes you can get out of one battery?
Really fun shootout. The camera looks so cool but I wish they had put a better lens (glass) on it, even if they charged a little more for it.
Yikes! I have such a hard time to even finish my roll of 35mm film.. can't imagine 72 photos..
true, I'm very aware of that most people struggle to get thru 36 exposures. This is why I encourage this camera to be used in groups! (unless you're a trigger happy photo nerd)
@@whoschrischu it can took a long time to expose a hole Film. On Holidays it is no problem to do it. But on normal days it will be a hard to shoot 72 Picture. Kodak should release shorter films with 12 conventional pictures or 24 half frame ones. In the 80th and 90th 12 picture films were available.
I think you use this camera differently tho by shooting a scene twice for more “context”. For example, you could take a picture of someone’s outfit on the first frame, then focus on their shoes on the second shot. Or maybe you coud take a picture of a building from 2 different angles. Basically what they did in the video cause it makes sense to use it that way
@@bluebaconjake405 for his concept it is a useful device. But mostly I try to shoot only one picture of one motif.
@@thorstenjaspert9394 understandable. Personally, i would use it like in the video. Its a much more fun camera that you just shoot without thinking much
Man this videos was really fun! i loved it
This has been very helpful. Thank you!❤
Super fun video, really enjoyed it.
Also... dope Casio watch!
Damn those photos are killers! Definitely looking to get one when it arrives in my country
Great review! This camera would be fun to try out.
Just purchased myself a canon multi tele camera, has the chose of normal 35mm or half frame! Excited to get a roll through it 👌👌
This was so much fun! This camera should definitely make an appearance at the subscriber meet up 🥳
Oh yesssirrrrr
I waited a few days to see if anyone would do a review and show photos taken with it. I’m sold after watching this!
Helpful tips at the end as well! I was a bit wary of f9 but think it should be fine
@@debseun7347 yeah I would too, but the slower shutter makes up for the small aperture. It's gotta be easy for everyone to use
Nice video! Thinking of giving this camera a try!
I have the urge to buy this cam because it looks like produces amazing shots plus its appearance outside is cute & have retro vibes. This video is poking me to buy it already
Now that looked like fun -- as you said, no training required on the camera, a location with lots of content/subjects -- but I like the time constraint! Gonna have to borrow that idea -- with maybe this new camera or some of my old P&S cameras.... Cheers!
omygahhh I love this! I think I am getting Ektar!
Amazing video nothing but good vibes, liked and subscribed stay awesome 😎
Thank you so much 😁
Great video! BTW Ektar refers to a term coined by Kodak Eastman in the 30s, referring to a level of quality. There are older premium lens that were called Ektar lenses.
Thank you! Also appreciate the fun fact!
Great info. Thx!
Amazing that many of the branding in film and cameras have a lot of legacy even till today.
It kinda sucks that they put it on a basic point and shoot camera. An apt metaphor for the state of analog cameras.
Would love to see nighttime photos on this camera!! ❤️
Been wanting a half frame camera and now i need o pull the trigger. Great video.
It’s honestly the best option out there rn
Great video! Have you shot slide film in this? Seems like the perfect way to make a vintage “filmstrip” for projection. They were 35mm positive film half frame!
Makes a perfect gift for someone who wants to get into film photography
I was at a camera shop looking for straps for my girlfriend and saw one. I bought it but I have no experience with cameras. Wish me luck!
Great info. Thanks for sharing sir ✨
I would have had my first photos be of the New Claus bmw behind you. Oh what a beauty. Perfect for a film shoot. 💜🦊💜
Definitely down to pick this up for my next vaca with friends!
i love your video! cant wait to receive my h35
Love this! Just got mine last monday and have been so excited~ been using Sora 200 for it, and I don't know how it'll look like, but I am alright - it'll be art HAHAHA
Your videos are underrated my G.
Surprisingly good quality. For a Plastic lens it's great, maybe because on a half frame it crops the crappy edges and only the sharper center gets used
I know right. I was pleasantly surprised by that as well
Some really smart compositions 👍 I think this proves its not the camera that matters....
I liked the guy in the hat with the brown duffel bag’s photos 🔥
Good review 👍
Thanks!
Fun challenge! I just did a diptych challenge with my Olympus pen FT half-frame camera. I ordered this one, let’s see how it compares 😂
Thanks for round! That was a fun challenge. 💁♂️ 💪
Thanks for sliding thru and showing off your street skills
Hey Chris
Great video! I like it. What camera setting was used to shoot this video (6 People Try the Kodak Ektar H35)? Is it a cine profile or s-log with an ND filter?
8:32 is an awesome set, definitely my fav. Great video
I see these things all over the place here! Tokyo is a great market for these and I can't wait to see more people abroad enjoying them. I'm hesitant to pick one up because of the 1/100 sec shutter speed. ISO? Regardless, I opted for the Olympus PEN EL from 1961 (practically mint) for $50. 1/200 and 1/40 WITH adjustable ISO. It's much sturdier, and even though people indicate they are fragile, the thing seems to be built like a tank. 1/2-frame awesomeness. Pick one up. There are many models with varying aperture settings. You won't be sorry. Great vid.
You are correct, this model is popular right now in Japan
I was gonna pick one of these up for my trip to japan - is there a better alternative that's maybe more unique to japan (would like to stick to eos lenses if not fixed, since that's what I own for my normal digital cam - also, any stores you'd recommend? Thanks!
Hey I’m looking to purchase one of these cameras soon and I love the style of the photos. I’m just having a hard time finding the right rolls of film for the kind of pictures I’d like to come out. Could you maybe give me the name or link of the film rolls that you chose cause I love them. Thank you I loved this video. You’re doing exactly what I want to do and take pics of cars etc. definitely subbing.
Fun vid! Excited to get mine 😍
Hope you enjoy it!
Hey Chris, i just bought this camera because of you. I wanna ask you this. Is the flash didn’t work when there’s no film inside it? My film isn’t arrived yet, but i wanna try the flash. And how’s the counter work? Is it automatically start when i put the film in?
Thank you! Luv from Indonesia⚡️
nice! film price increasing so they double the frame 😀 i am waiting for mine to get delivered!! thanks for video!
Yeah it’s a very well-timed camera release
Great video! btw this camera should use 400 24 exp. film?
Did you scan the film yourself? I love the final shots!
Hey I use this camera all the time at school. It’s kinda harsh industrial lighting but still indoors, what iso film should I use?
Great review! What’s the best way to get 35mm film photos onto social media? Do you have to make physical copies aswell? (Sorry I’m new!!)
Your Draymond shoutout in the caption is the best. I also like that you're counting down your shot for an inanimate object.
As for the actual camera, looks like a fun camera similar to my instax cameras in terms of ease of use, and fun factor. I'd say it's biggest strength and maybe weakness is that it gets 72 exposures per roll. I imagine you'd feel compelled to burn through the whole roll to make sure you're shooting in similar lighting conditions to accommodate the film selection. I like your film recommendations but I imagine it could be kind of annoying to have to navigate around the film selection.
I'm glad someone got that Draymond reference :D
I agree with your assessment. I think a lot of people still struggle getting through a regular 36exposure roll, so this encourages the "shareability" even more for this camera. I would be exhausted with a roll by myself
Since they are reasonably cheap, why not just have one with ISO100 and another with ISO400 to cover all the bases?
I recently went to my local film shop, & they recommended portra 400 & fuji x-tra 400 but I’m unsure those are best fit for this camera. What do you think?
It seems like if its slightly too bright or too dim, the camera struggles- there seems to be a very small 'sweet spot' where you can get an image that's not overexposed or an image that's not blurry. that said the images that did come out looked awesome
Pictures will not become blurry in the dark because it is a single fixed shutter speed. At 1/100s it's very easy to not get movement blur in the pictures.
With regards to the sweet spot - you have to choose your film appropriately. But also, modern film has a very big exposure latitude. If you shove 400 iso film in it, even if you overexpose 3 stops, the film will handle it. It will just require a scanner that's able to deal with the very dense negative - but the film can do it.
Put in Delta or Tmax 3200 if you wanna use it on cloudy winter days. Put in some 100 iso whatever in it, on bright sunny summer days.
great video!!
What film did you use? I like the colors.
I might have to get this camera… 😬
GREAT VIDEO MATE
THANKS MATE!!
cool video!👏Just want to ask what picture profile did you use on this video?
I noticed you used the Kodak 400 colour, have you tried the Portra 400 Colour? I'm a Canon guy, AE-1, AE-1 Program and 7D and I'll be purchasing the Ektar H35.
If i want to use this camera for both sunlight AND night photos would it be better to use ISO 100 or ISO 400 film? i just don’t want to get both for 2 separate times during the day
Nice video,! I wish the camera was a little bit cheaper, untill I'll find a great discount, I'll stick to the vintage HFs.
Do you have a scanner for your Kodak camera or did you get them made somewhere
I just received mine, any tip on how to make sure you are on the same frame so I can tell the next two photos are a composition? Counter is a little bit confusing and not so accurate
This is sick
Major rookie, whats the best way to get those shots taken with this camera turned into digital pictures?
Is the view finder vertical to make up for the vertical half frames? I noticed that some subjects were naturally cropped out, so perhaps the view finder is horizontal even though the shots are vertical frames.
The view finder is vertically oriented.
Hi! Sorry I am new to film. Do you need to wind the camera after each shot? Thank you
How do I get the photo on the computer does the store do that for you instead of developing, thank you for the video .
amazing vid
thank you, lad
What's the best film camera for a beginner ? I want to buy a canonet 28, do you advise me to do so?
A new half frame??! 🔥🔥🔥
YUUUUUP!
Were any of these images altered in lightroom or photoshop or have filters or anything? Or were they strictly raw, straight from the camera?
are the photos shown edited or straight out of film?
That was fun.
Reminds me of my old Kodak Instamatic.
What film do you use for this camera?
I just received mine today (preorder)! I'm so excited to use it. Two questions: Anything I should let my lab know about the film for processing? Will the scans come back as 36 diptychs?
Also, I"m really glad that I put 200 ISO film in prior to watching your video. I didn't know the SS was so slow. I just saw an Instagram ad and bought it on the spot.
hi! did you get an answer for this?
Yes, you should definitely let your lab know that you shot this roll in half frame, it will not alter the developing process but the scanning process will be different
Do you use flash even when outdoors?
visst0pher's concept was great!
Agreed!
it really was. if only his photos weren't overexposed
Why you gotta do me like that, Chris? 🥲
I know you mentioned if you take a photo in landscape orientation it actually makes a vertical photo so what happens when you take a photo in vertical orientation? Does it capture the same image?
I don’t have this camera specifically, but assuming it’s like every other half frame holding the camera in what would normally be “portrait” orientation allows you to take landscape oriented shots.
It will be inverted, look at 8:18
The homie 2071! Used to ride bikes with him.
Uncle Tim in the background!
how did you guys get that landscape shot at 8:18? Thanks in advance!!
I want to get into photography, what do you use to print these out?
Just seen these in a camera store in the u.s
