- In this video, I talk about the Kodak Ektralite 10. This 110 camera is stupid simple to use and has no widgets or gizmos to help you make a pretty picture.
So, if the picture sucks, it's all your own fault. I like that kind of challenge.

3. Flip the power switch on top
4. Open the shade on the front
5. Point at something.

Hi there. I'm Chris. Film is more fun is a place where I share about whatever busted up old camera I'm currently shooting and tinkering with, or my meanderings in film photography. It would be pretty rad if you said what's up. I'm 99% friendly. Definitely do that. Disclaimer: If you want technical proficiency go watch 'The Art of Photography' (love that show). These videos are more like an elderly person navigating a tv clicker.

CORRECTION! The flash is controlled by the selector switch at the top. It shouldn't fire every time. The switch on my camera must have not been working properly.
Super fun video! - I had one of these back in the 1970's & 80's it was my "party camera"! Not for real photography :o in those days we relied on the little FotoMat shacks to get developed and processed. - For "real" photography, I had an Olympus OM1 (all manual settings) & an OM2 (more automatic settings) with film that I developed and processed myself at a little shop in town. Love what you did here - showing how that little Kodak just couldn't see what our eyes see. Thanks for the flashback with some salt and pepper. :)
This was my first camera growing up. I remember the grain being really harsh in most photos, but I think I like that way more now then back then. Nice video review.
Hi Shawn. You're right on the money! The grain is crazy big on most 110's. Like you mentioned, I think it adds some charm to the image though. 🙂
mine too. I missed that camera
not a fan of the sound effects every five seconds, otherwise a nice video
Thanks for your opinion. Glad you enjoyed the video otherwise 🙂
Thank you for this. I recently got one at a Value Village and I'm gonna test it out today.
The batteries and switch are only for the flash. This is an old school film camera and does not require any power to take a picture - you only need to turn the switch on if you want to use the flash in low light conditions. So, you can remove the electrical tape, take your pictures as you normally would, and just turn the switch on when you want to enable the flash in low light. If you think there may be something wrong with your switch, pull the batteries out and go shoot a roll of film with good lighting to test the function of the camera. Maybe, this camera is even more "SIMPLE" than first thought.
I still have my mom Kodak 110 from the late 70s. Still works. I even have the Vivitar 110 she bought me at Christmas 1982, which still works.
That's awesome! These little cameras just keep on going.
R&B track no drama in 2/4 time someone complained. Good review 🐊
I've been looking at my 110 cameras. I remembered enjoying them immensely. I did some work on mine recently - in particular resurrecting my Pocket Instamatic 60. 110 is so great due to its simplicity, but there are some technical gems as well.
Keep up the great work, and 110 is sorely underrrated!
I agree, 110 being so easy to use made it fun! 🙂
@@filmismorefun I just made a video on why I love 110, and it has nothing to do with the simplicity of loading.
Hint: it's what a lot of people hate about very small formats.
Yeah, the size of the negative would be the biggest downside of 110 if you wanted to print large without any grain in your photos. But in my opinion, it's not always just about how 'clean out sharp' your photos can be. The experience while out shooting is a big part for me which makes 110 okay in my book. 🙂
Another great video, fun and informative. You deserve allot more followers...am sure you will get them though in time
Film Camera Reviews Thanks! Eventually the channel probably will, but its still cool talking to and interacting with the few people that already follow.
filmismorefun me too, only got a few subscribers but it's fun to do and so far no negative comments
Loved this camera as a kid. Took so many pictures.
It's a classic! 🙂
If you ever seen the film “The Lovely Bones,” it was basically like that for me!
@@alfredvalrie5541 No, I haven't. I'll have to look it up!
Hi Chris. Subscriber 4 here. Just stumbled across your channel while looking for Canon Demi videos. These are exactly the kind of videos/channels I like: a lighthearted, brief rundown of the camera, some quick specs and observations, and a video shoot with results. Maybe try and get a little closer view with the overheads and dig up the specs so you can talk about them in the video, rather than the comments That's my only criticism. I like that you shot a few into the sun, so we could see how it handled lens flare. Different lighting conditions are always a plus. Looking forward to more. Thanks.
Brent Buchner Hey Brent! Thanks for the feedback, and for subscribing. I really appreciate it! In future videos I can definitely add in some more of the specs. I try to err on the side of wrapping it up quick for fear of droning on, or becoming boring. :)
Thanks for this video. I appreciate you uploaded this almost 5 years ago now, but I've just recently started looking into the 110 format and your video was one of the ones I came across. It does appear tthese 'cheap' 110 cameras can take an ok picture provided you do it on a sunny day. Some other creators tried them on overcast days and the resulting picture quality is noticeably lower than what you and others achieved in good weather. I've just bought myself a Hanimex 110 TF (another low end, cheap camera of its time) on eBay which I plan to try out just for fun.
I'm glad the video was helpful! 🙂
I picked up one of these bad boys at a market for $3 yesterday! So excited to load it up with some film
Such a cool little camera. Have fun! 🙂
what film is to used for it ? can u please link one ?
@@toreedoesthings Hi there! It takes 110 film, and there are links listed in the video description. I hope that helps! 🙂
My first camera ! I made a ruffle and with the profits i bought it . It cost me $10.000 Colombian pesos back in 1993 . And I remember the excitement still
It is a fun camera!
I just found one of these for $3 at a thrift shop. I have other 110 cameras but this is the only one I have it's actually made by Kodak. Actually the on-and-off is just for the Flash. And I don't mind using a flash with 110 cameras especially this style because it's fairly far away from the lens it's still not flattering but it's better than a lot of point-and-shoot 35mm cameras I've used. If your flash is going off when the flash button off your camera is probably not working right or you've never tried. You could just take the batteries out. And if it does it just for film speed it does that mechanically by a tab on the film cartridge.
Yeah that was definitely my oversight when first shooting with it, thanks for the heads up though!
beautiful pictures!!
Thanks! 🙂
Thanks for the vid. Maybe a little less sound effects though 😂😬
Glad you liked it the vid and thanks for your opinion. In newer videos I've toned them down. 😉
I love the sound effects and thank you for this vid. 💜
I bought one from an antique store and can't get the flash to work. Nothing looks corroded on the battery slot, the flash wiring looks good. Does the flash not work without film in it?
I believe it should work as long as it has batteries, and if it's a model with a flash on/off switch, that is powered on. It's possible the bulb has blown.
Jesus dude ... the switch on the top... is just for the dam flash.... you don’t need to put tape over it...if ya don’t want the flash ,,,, leave the switch in the off position,,,
I had to open my camera on frame one and remove the cartridge if reensert and advance will the remaining frames be ok
Most probably will be okay, but a few that were likely ruined
Does it not take pictures if the switch is off? I would assume the switch is only for the flash right?
Faceofpuma Right, as long as the shutter lever is wound depressing the shutter button will engage the shutter and take a picture even if the flash switch is on the off position. I think it's a fun little camera!
Hi! Thank for this very informative video. Can you make a video on how to develope the photos just like you did? I mean, how did you turn it to digital?
Hi there! I have a video on developing color film here: czcams.com/video/ez_2KTAWSbI/video.html
And once developed, the images need to be scanned into the computer.
However, it may be easier if you are just starting out to send your finished roll to a lab for development for the first few times. I hope that helps! 🙂
@@filmismorefun Thanks! May I know if it is still worth to buy this kind of camera at this time? The seller said she didn't use the cam for a decade now.
We didn't know if the cam still works. :(
Well, there is a very good chance that it still works, because it has a very simple design.
As far as ifs it's worth it- that depends what you are looking for. It takes 110 film which is not as easily available as 35mm. And shooting film in general can be an inconvenience because of the required development when compared to digital. But, is this a fun camera and easy to use? Yes. It just takes a bit more time cost and effort to get the pictures. I hope that helps!
@@filmismorefun hello again! so, i got the chance to test my cam. i supposed if the circle is flashing when you shut the shutter, it's still working, right? But the problem is, I bought 2 AA batteries and after 5 shots of film which is obv. I turned on the flash, there's no flash.
If there's no flash, can the cam still works?
@@n4maalam Hi there. On some models the flash needs to be charged by holding down a button until you see a flashing light or solid light. But if this light is on, and it does not flash when pushing the shutter The flash may be bad. That doesn't mean that the camera isn't working though, because the flash and the parts that take the picture are different. I hope that helps!
Hey! I was wondering if this is 35mm film? And can you still take pictures without the battery and just not have the flash? And do you know what kind of batteries it needs?
Hi there. It takes 110 film, and yes it will still take pics without any batteries. The batteries are needed only for the flash. I forget what size though, but I would guess probably AA.
@@filmismorefun Yes! I was about to say, just take the batteries out to shoot without flash. Everything else is mechanical.
Hilarious sound effects. Nice video man
Thanks man!
@@filmismorefun no problem. I subscribed, your channel is awesome, im about to go binge watch lol
Help!! I bought a Kodak cameo motor 110 and the shutter button is stuck to the side, any tips on how to fix it 😢??? I can’t find any videos on this camera. Pls & thank you
Isn't the shutter on top though? The orange circle.
Wow cool camera, I might get one.
What kind of memory card does it take, and does it record 4K video in Lomography?
Jas Mann Yes, it uses emulsion memory cards. :)
filmismorefun cool man, I’m going to get me one of them emulsion suckers.
Ijust put in some brand new batteries, but flash isnt working. Do I need batteries for camera to work?
No the batteries are for the flash only
hi, recently i found a Kodak extra 9 …
anda i was wondering what kind of film use ? i can be the same that you use for the ektralite 10 ?
Hi there! It takes 110 film. There are links in the description to the film I used for the camera.
Which battery did u use for this camera ? Because I got a Yashica electro 110 from my grandfather but inside there’s written “use k size battery” but I can’t find it anywhere
Not sure what the electro 110 takes, but this Kodak ektralite takes two double a batteries if I remember correctly.
Edit- found this link maybe they are available here:
www.clubvb.com/Focal.Yokels/SizeKbatteries/Default.htm
Hope that helps. 🙂
How can I be sure that mine is working? I recently found one at goodwill and the flash isn’t working
Did you replace the battery? The flash operates off of the battery, but the camera is fully mechanical.
To test the camera- open the back door and look through the back. Wind (press in) the shutter lever, then press the shutter button. Through the back you should see a quick circle of light. This is the shutter opening and closing. I hope that helps! 🙂
@@filmismorefun thank you so much!
@@christofferwilson5623 no prob 🙂🙂
Also that on-off switch is for the flash.
What's that beat when shooting? It's super dope
Hi there. The music is Zifhang 'First Contact' and there is a link in the description if you want to check out the other parts of the album.
I’ve never shot, how are you displaying your shots from the camera to your video? Like how can I convert them for use on the computer like you did after they are developed?
Hi there. The negatives have to be scanned so they are a digital file, then I can include them when editing the video. Hope that helps!
@@filmismorefun thank you sir
i can't seem to press the button when the film is loading in. Anything to to fix this issue?
Silly question, but did you wind it first?
This may be a dumb question but what kind of batteries does it take? I just found my grandmother's or my mother's ektralite from the 70s/80s and the film has been used, it's in great condition. But i put in AA batteries and I can't tell if it's working or not, and the back slider thing on mine won't slide. But maybe that's just because the film is full.
Hi there. It takes AA,'s, but the batteries are only for the flash. So, after turning it on the flash will need to charge before it fires. Hope that helps! 🙂
@@filmismorefun thank you! What about the slider in the back not opening? The one that slides before every new picture is taken. Mine won't budge.
@@mikaylawheeler3925 That slider on the side resets the shutter. Try pressing the button and it should reset. There may be a slider in the front that covers the lens.
@@filmismorefun yes the slider that covers the lens works perfectly fine, I'll try resetting it. Thanks so much!
No prob.
Anyone know how to fix and open the body of the camera? Got some issues with mine
Been searching the internet for how to open it up and fix it too so lemme know if you ever found a way
this man said ice cream sandwish hahahah
🍦🙂
Do you need the batteries if you don’t need the flash?
Nope. It's all mechanical except for the flash.
Did you use the Lomography 200 color film?
Yeah I think so!
Do you know if it'll still work with out batteries? I found one and theres no back for the batteries :(
Yup should work without batteries. They're just for the flash.
@@filmismorefun great news thank you so much!
@@ericmisquez8796 no prob
I have the Minolta pocket autopak 450E , it's a higher grade 110 camera made Hong Kong Japan , it has the standard lens , then it has another lens that slides over for close-up shots , made out of plastic and Metal chrome finish the loading door latches are metal , the gears at Advance to film they are made out of metal , all glass lenses , comes with a genuine leather pouch deeply in embossed on the bottom Hong Kong and on the front says Minolta
How do you take the film out once you’ve taken all the pics you can ??
Hi there. Just open the back of the camera and remove the cartridge. The film is protected from light after the roll is completely wound.
Hey! So my film came today. Camera works fine and flashes with no film in it, however when I put the film in it doesn’t work! Can anyone help me. There is also a orange flashing while it’s on.
This might be a silly question, but did you winding the shutter before pressing the button? It's not a fully automatic camera, so the shutter needs to be wound before every shot. It's a vertical lever that slides in.
@@filmismorefun I was yeah ahaha. I think my problem was I needed to wind it until the numbers on my film pop up yes? I just had arrows and wound until number 1, it’s working now haha
@@somaliluxford9973 Awesome! Glad it's working 🙂
What kind of film did you use? :)
Hi there. I believe it was Lomography Tiger Color in 110.
What kind of tape film do you use?
This camera takes any 110 film cassette. Lomography manufactures fresh 110 film, or three is always expired 110 film on eBay.
My battery thing is stuck and I can’t get it open :/
It might have corrosion from old batteries. If it does, and you can get it open try using white vinegar with a qtip to clean the gunk out.
Hay sir i am from pakistan 🇵🇰and i am 17 . i checkout all the shop around us but I didn’t find 110 reel . If its available online kindly help . I am very excited to take pictures with this .
Hi there. One option is from B and H Photo, they will ship internationally.
www.bhphotovideo.com
Search for Lomography 110 film 🙂
Where can I find the film of it?
Hi there. I have some 110 film linked in the description.
My complete childhood was captured by this camera only
That's so cool! Do you still have the prints?
What kind of film does it take? How do I insert it?
Hi there. It takes 110 film. You open the back door of the camera, and insert the film inside with the spools facing toward the front of the camera. Hope that helps! 🙂
@@filmismorefun Thanks!
Plus one on intelligience
= there is a version of other brand that can zoom
= fixed zoom-steps for both(at the same time) the viewfinder and the camera-lens
(Which is handy for some smart-phone camera-upgrades... too simple to be jealous over unless they are totally ... ...)
mine doesn't have a sliderrr :
Bummer! Some cardboard and tape can fix that, though! 😁
Do you in the movies to this camera
Nope
I found a tele ektralite at my favorite thrift store for $3.. so I bought some film for it lmfao
Nice! $3 is a deal. That's almost as good as free.. 🙂
@@filmismorefun can’t wait to get these carts developed
How it work
Insert film. Wind. Press button. Ta-da!
I still have one but no film
Film is still available if you still want to shoot the camera.
Ummm how about just not putting a battery in it sooooo the flash wont fire? Hmmmmmmm
Nah, that makes too much sense. Although, sometimes I kinda like to have the option of using it, so the tape does the trick.
The switch is for the flash only. Just leave it on off if you don't desire to use it.
Even better is leaving the flash switch on the top ,,, in the off position.... lmao.... dam kids.... the switch is just for the flash.... not the camera
is this camera good now?
It depends what you mean by "good". If you are after a simple film camera that is pocketable and fun, then sure. If you're after high quality prints then not so much. I enjoyed shooting with it.
@@filmismorefun Is it still worth using the Nikon 110 coolpix camera?
@@anetamaneta3172 I don't know that model, but any 110 film camera will pretty much be similar in traits to the Ektralite. Easy to use with so-so picture quality.
I have one
Neat. Hope it's fun for you.
I have this camera and I want to sell it
Hi Parveen! Try listing it on eBay. They don't usually sell for very much, though.
I am I have one
Great! Have fun with it.
that must be the cringeys editing ever. But still informativ
Well, the spelling on your comment is a bit cringey, but the sentence is still understandable.
We all have our short comings, I suppose. 😉
@@filmismorefun im not a native speaker, but you got a point. I just think it would be better without all the effects, but that's your decision
@@jool2682 Hey I appreciate your input, thanks! 🙂
Thanks, sorry for the kind of rude feedback sometimes you forget that there are real people behind the videos
@@jool2682 It's all good! 🙂
Help please , i found this camera in my houde , but the bateries is sulfated , how i can open the camera to clean all ??? Help please
Remove the batteries and use white vinegar and a Q-tip.
