Kodak Ektar H35 half-frame filmcamera (Bruin)

Half frame means I get 72 shots per roll instead of 36, which is honestly perfect for travel when I don’t want to ration my film. The camera’s so light I forgot it was in my jacket pocket half the day, and the brown body looks great sitting on my shelf between trips.

I’ve shot two rolls already and the half-frame format means I get 72 shots per roll, which is perfect for stretching my film budget without sacrificing the fun. The brown body feels solid in hand, and the compact size makes it easy to slip into a jacket pocket for everyday carries.

The half-frame design is genius for stretching a roll of film twice as far, and I love how pocketable this brown body is for daily carry. The built-in flash handled a dim restaurant perfectly on my first test roll.
