KODAK FunSaver 35mm Single Use Camera

Product Information

The FunSaver uses a 30mm F10 lens. The combination of a wide-angle focal length and an F10 aperture means there's no focusing mechanism at play. The FunSaver is quite literally a point-and-shoot camera. The FunSaver's lens includes a pair of plastic aspherical lens elements, which capture surprisingly sharp images considering that it's a cheap, single-use camera. In general the one-time-use camera represents a return to the business model pioneered by Kodak for their Kodak camera, predecessor to the Brownie camera; it is particularly popular in situations where a reusable camera would be easily stolen or damaged, when one's regular camera is forgotten, or if one cannot afford a regular camera.

I’m guessing they just rounded to nearest stop and to 30mm. Other than the Fascia the camera is the same and your shots are similar to mines in quality. Most disposable or single-use cameras come with built-in 35mm film, in either 27 or 36 exposures. Some differ in ISO, typically either 400 or 800, but also sometimes 200. ISO determines how sensitive the film camera will be to light, and, in turn, what type of settings it will work best. If you’re planning to use your disposable camera at an indoor event like a party or wedding, it’s wise to choose one with ISO 800 film as it will perform better in low-light situations. Higher ISO does produce photos that appear more grainy, but that adds to the old film look. If you plan on using your single-use camera outdoors in the daylight, a lower ISO will work well with the brighter setting, so your photos don’t look washed out. Our "Collect at Store" service lets you add items to your basket and then collect them from a Jessops store: in as little as 30 minutes. That's why I bought a Tokina 17mm in 1984 when I had my Pentax ME Super. Then I already considered the supplied 50mm lens having a vey narrow FOV. That one has an FOV matching the naked eye. For the best results, develop your film within six months. Photos can still be developed years later, though they may have more imperfections like color banding and a grainy appearance. Make sure to store undeveloped film in a cool, dark place such as the refrigerator ( yes, really!) to preserve the images.The First Disposable Camera". Modern Mechanix. September 1949.

It is telling the M38 almost doubles the capacitor power. Thanks, Alan. Yes, you are correct, the aperture opens up when you switch on the flash. I do wonder why they can claim f/8 if the others only claim 9 or 10. As buying a new roll of film works out markedly cheaper than buying a whole new camera each time, provided the camera is looked after, the Simple Use makes for a more practical, economical alternative to traditional disposables. Depending on how you plan to use your disposable camera, a built-in flash can be important. Most single-use cameras come loaded with ISO 400 or ISO 800 film combined with a preset aperture and shutter speed that should ensure well-exposed outdoor images. If you want to take pictures indoors or in the evening, however, you’ll need a camera with a flash.Since the late 1990s, disposable cameras have become increasingly popular as wedding favors. Usually they are placed on tables at wedding receptions to be used by guests to capture their unique perspective of the event. More commonly they are available in colors to match the wedding theme such as ivory, blue, white, gold, etc. [8] Disposable cameras are popular with tourists and people traveling around the world to save pictures of their adventures.

Beginner photographers might choose disposable cameras as they’re lightweight and easy to travel with, simple to use, and can be discarded after use. If you’re going on a tropical vacation, you may choose to buy an underwater disposable camera for snorkeling if underwater photography is not something you’ll do on a regular basis.

( September 2023) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) The focus-free lens is adaptable to almost any mirrorless camera. In Stern's case, he used a full-frame Sony mirrorless camera (E-mount). The list of supplies is short. You need a body cap for your camera, a cheap third-party one will do, and a Kodak FunSaver 35mm single-use camera. Again I need to apologise. I was wrong to write it off as a clone of the Harman Reloadable. It shares the same lens and looks but in day-glo colours. But in fact is a class up and out with the shell the same as pretty much every recently released by film producers cameras.
