Kodak licensee Reto has launched a new film camera with styling that mimics popular retro compacts, giving film-curious shooters a nostalgic entry point.
Reto
Kodak licensee Reto has quietly added another beginner-friendly 35mm camera to its analog lineup. The Kodak EC35 is a fixed-focus point-and-shoot aimed squarely at casual shooters and film-curious newcomers thanks to its affordable price and ease of operation.
The EC35 is a simple 35mm film camera with a plastic body and 25mm, fixed-focus, 2-element acrylic lens. It’s a point-and-shoot camera, featuring a fixed F10 aperture and a constant 1/100 sec shutter speed. It does offer manual film advance and rewind, though, for a more traditional film experience. There’s also a built-in flash powered by a single AA battery.
It’s highly compact, weighing 102 g (3.6 oz) and measuring 119 x 65 x 41.5mm (4.7 × 2.6 × 1.6″). It features a slide-out cover to protect the lens, just like highly popular retro compact film cameras, such as the Olympus Stylus (Mju series) and Contax T3.

While the camera uses Kodak branding, it comes from Reto, the Kodak licensee behind the viral Kodak Charmera cameras. Reto has been steadily rebuilding a Kodak-branded analog ecosystem with playful, affordable cameras like the Ektar H35 half-frame, the H35N half-frame and the Snapic A1, a compact with a 25mm three-element glass lens and double-exposure mode. The EC35 slots in as a more basic model that produces full 35mm frames, sitting below the feature-rich Snapic A1 with its LCD, auto wind/rewind and multi-exposure features.
The Kodak EC35 comes in six colors: black, white, yellow, lavender, light blue, light pink and light green. It’s available for purchase now for $35, the same price as Lomography’s recently released half-frame camera.

Lomography’s affordable new half-frame film camera makes shooting film simple.
Lomography
Lomography is jumping on the half-frame trend with its latest camera. The appropriately named Half-frame Simple Use Reloadable Film Camera is an affordable option that aims to make film easy for those looking to explore the medium.
As a half-frame camera, it uses half of each 35mm frame, resulting in 17 mm x 24 mm vertical images and letting you get twice as many photos from a roll as a traditional 35mm camera. The small point-and-shoot looks like a classic disposable camera and comes pre-loaded with a roll that gives you 40 shots before you need to reload. Despite its lightweight, disposable-style design, the camera is fully reloadable, and with a standard 36-exposure roll, you can capture up to 72 images.
Lomography
Lomography designed the camera to be easy to use. It features a fixed-focus 21mm lens, a single 1/120 sec shutter speed, a fixed F9 aperture and no ISO adjustment options. It offers a built-in flash to help in low-light situations and has integrated gels to slide in front of the flash for pops of color. There are also shooting instructions printed on the camera body to help you use it if you’re new to film.
You can choose between two preloaded versions of the half-frame camera: one with LomoChrome Classicolor ISO 200 film, and the other with Lady Gray ISO 400 black and white film. You can also opt for a kit that includes six additional rolls and a case to store your film. Sitting well below options like the Pentax 17, it’s meant to be an affordable, casual way to enjoy film.
The Lomography Half-frame Simple Use Reloadable Film Camera is available for preorder now and costs $30 with black-and-white film and $35 with color film.
