Kodak 35 EF – Kodak’s Return to the 35mm Camera Market
After a long absence of sixteen years on the 35mm camera market, Kodak returned in 1986 with a series of compacts, including the Kodak 35 EF.

Simple and Effective Use
The Kodak 35 EF is designed for simplicity. With a fixed focus lens and constant shutter speed, there are no complicated settings to master. The camera is activated by sliding the lens cap, which unlocks the shutter button and prepares the camera for shooting. A slider allows you to adjust the aperture according to the sensitivity of the film (ISO 100/200 or ISO 400/1000), guaranteeing optimal results depending on the type of film used.
Manual Flash and Brightness Indicator
When light conditions are insufficient, a red diode lights up in the viewfinder, telling you to activate the built-in flash via a slider located under the device. Although the Kodak 35 EF can operate without batteries, the 2 AAA batteries are required to fire the flash and operate the low light indicator.
Ideal for Vintage Photography
With its simple design and quality glass lens, the Kodak 35 EF is an excellent choice for those who want to get started with film photography. It provides a smooth and accessible shooting experience, while capturing respectably sharp images thanks to the Ektanar lens. In addition, the manual flash allows you to take photos indoors or in low light conditions.

Why do analog photography in 2024 ?
That's true... Why do you want to do film in 2024 in the digital age?
Film offers a unique and timeless aesthetic that digital cannot reproduce. The grains of the film, the colors and the contrasts create a depth and texture particular to film photos.
Film photography allows you to physically hold your photos and negatives, providing a more tactile and memorable experience. Each photo becomes a unique object that you can keep and cherish.
Shooting on film encourages you to think and plan each shot carefully. This develops your photography skills and teaches you to be more attentive to details.
Using a film camera connects you to a long tradition of photography. You're using technology that has captured historic moments and been practiced by generations of photographers before you.
With film, you focus on the present moment without being distracted by the screen and digital settings. This allows you to better appreciate and capture the essence of each moment.
