Compact Half-Frame Film Camera
The Kodak Ektar H35N is a reusable 35mm half-frame film camera finished in Glazed Blue. It captures twice as many exposures per roll as a standard full-frame camera, making it an economical choice for everyday analogue photography. A partial glass lens element improves sharpness compared to all-acrylic optics.
Built-In Star Filter and Bulb Function
This model adds a built-in four-beam star filter, a bulb shutter setting and a tripod socket — three features rarely combined in compact reusable film cameras. The filter creates distinctive flares on bright highlights such as city lights or water reflections. Bulb mode with an optional cable release enables long-exposure trails of moving subjects.
Check Film Stock and Accessories
Verify you have 35mm film available, as the half-frame format requires standard cartridges. A tripod and cable release are needed to use the bulb function effectively. The camera has no built-in flash, so low-light work beyond long exposures will require a separate light source or fast film.

Questions about this item
What are the dimensions of the Kodak Ektar H35N so I know if it fits my bag?
The camera measures 1.53 in x 4.33 in x 2.44 in, making it compact enough for most small camera bags or large pockets.
How do I use the bulb shutter for long exposures and what mistake should I avoid?
Mount the camera on a tripod via the tripod hole, attach an optional cable release, then hold the shutter open for the desired duration; the common error is hand-holding the camera which causes blur.
What ongoing supply will this half-frame camera need after I start shooting?
It uses standard 35 mm film; each roll yields roughly twice the usual number of frames, so you will buy and develop film less often than with a full-frame camera.
